    20 years of marriage = porcelain wedding ("Porzellanhochzeit")

    After 20 years of marriage it's an old German tradition to give the married couple new porcelain as a present (so here they used the wrong material for the present *just joking*).

      I thought I would post this here. I think this broach is from the period and that the rune on the front is a variation of the "Fehu" rune (though I'm not sure). Could anyone positively identify the rune? Sadly, the pin on the back is broken. Has anyone else seen broaches like this before? I think it may have been part of a series.

              It is a rune called Kaun in old norse and it is from the younger futhark. I think it is one of the "Germanischer Schmuck" designed by Erich Schuster. I haven't seen this particular one before but others like it.

                I'm in a good mood so here is a little something most likely none of you have seen before and I think you will enjoy it. An old model candleholder that the Allach julleuchter is based on. This one was made in 1749.

                  Now that is very interesting to see!!

                  I assume it was used by farmers in your country as a cultural candleholder.

                  Any background history known regarding this particular one?

                    @Minnesinger:

                      Very interesting, look at the old germanic gothic numbers.
                      Do we have any other infos about such kind of Julleuchters?
                      I presume they were made long before 1700.

                        Hi,

                        Thanks for your help. Could you tell me more about the Germanisher Schmuck series and Erich Schuster?

                        Thanks,
                        Erich

                          This photo of the Saukel family crib would be the ultimate cultural piece if it survived!

                              The - nearly identical - Sippenwiege of camp commander Karl Koch, although without the Sippenzeichen, survived.

                                You can see by the crib the importance of family to the NSDAP culture.
