The Coburg Badge

[Erich B.]

I agree--you can't get much better than that!
I always thought these plates were produced as gifts for the touring Old Fighters rather than being something that anyone could buy.

I think there were produced a few thausands, this one comes from a Family with no CB owner, The employers by Roesler could have taken a few out of the factory

[Military]

The plates are a must-have now!!!!

[Br. James]

I agree, Mil...just wish I could afford one!

Very interesting that the colours are a little different, they coloured with airbrush by hand, so is this difference explained, Max Roesler was a bin Ceramic-Factory, they produced other 3. Reich items too, but I have never Seen such a thing.

[M. Zimmer]

This is a coffee pot for the Wehrmacht, made by the same factory as the CB plate

[Military]

Very nice comparison. Did they produce any 3D figures or other things related to the Coburg event?

Congratulations on a wonderful purchase. I have never seen the Coburg plate in box before. I am not sure how many plates were made. I would estimate less than what you guessed but what we can be sure of is that there are not many around today.

Below is my quick compilation of the known Coburg plates based off my personal knowledge and after conducting a quick word search on this thread for the Coburg plate:

ErichS owned one which has since been sold (1)

Jon Fish found, and I believe sold, one (1 or 2)
(not sure if they are 2 different plates)

Winkler had a broken/repaired one (1)

One sold in auction (1)

M. Zimmer owns 2 (one boxed) (2)

A friend owns one (1)

I own one (1)

Ratisbon's just auctioned one (1)

So that is a maximum of 10 plates. This does not take into account/consideration that some of those listed above might be double counted (i.e. sold by one member and purchased later by someone else and listed again)

I know another 3 plates, one in the Coburg Stadtarchiv, two others owned by friends

[Gary B]

Thanks, M.Zimmer.

We are still barely in the 2 digit range!

Another Coburg Plate

It dös mit belong to the CB, but it is original out of the time

[M. Zimmer]

But now

[Br. James]

I've never seen this one before...what does the reverse look like?
