What nonsense is that?
They are all made of cast iron and there are no copies/fakes in iron in existence at all.
A beautiful Erbhof sign in great condition - that´s all I see.
And the price is more than reasonable!
"as I was a kid my uncle was working in a quality sand casting factory,
I remember when he produced some Erbhof signs and some large eagles like for pole tops. So good reproductions are out, this was all in the 70's. "

Another fine DHW piece was the top of the do-it-yourself beer mug vitrine, Nr. 90.
They just cut of the feet and put it on top...so we´ll use the other one as a prime example to restore this one and get it back to it´s former glory.
Actually Nr. 90 is resting now on the third DHW piece, his big brother.

SS-Hochzeitsteller / wedding plate
Hermann Historica, Auction 61, item #8827:
"aus Holz mit beschnitztem Rand "Ehre die Scholle die uns ernährt" zwischen Kornähren. Teller dieser Art wurden von den Führern der SS-Standarten zur "Eheweihe" überreicht."
From wood, "Ehre die Scholle die uns ernährt" carved around the rim between grain spikes. Plates of this kind were presented by Leaders of the SS Standarts for the occasion of marriage consecration.
Sounds like Thorsten B. is now writing the descriptions for HH !

Finally it´s an accurate and valuable description - based on historical evidence and sources and not made up out of phantasy.
Knowledge of the history and background of the offered pieces is the key to get the grip about possible value of them - a seriously matching and accurate description is art in itself so to speak - and can be very relevant regarding the results.
The times when you just place nice pics of pieces together and call it an auction catalogue are history.
What the potential buyer wants is serious and in-depth description of each piece - especially when it comes to artistic and cultural significant pieces where still many collectors have no real clue about.
In other words: The time when collectors judged the Julleuchter to be ugly and unimportant are history as well.
Mr. Thies for example does - regarding this matter - a better job than Hermann´s.
Maybe that´s why actually they are offering the job for doing these descriptions right now - just check their website.

Hello Der Hase Fee,
I dont suppose there was any sources given to back up this pretty story? Perhaps a citation form a Universitat Verlag/University Press publication that had been peer reviewed? Anything to explain how that saying proves it is SS?
My understanding of such plates is that regular plain folks also enjoyed having such wooden plates in their cupboard or hanging on the wall in their kitchen (maybe not always with that exact expression, but come on).
I find it hard to imagine every one of them was presented by leaders of the SS.Last edited by Michael Fay; 04-04-2011, 10:54 PM.
