Here's a shot of a side of a building taken recently (photo credit. G.Eims).
It's the same script as written on Hochzeitsteller, as per the one I've shown in this thread.Attached FilesLast edited by Steve T; 08-17-2010, 04:40 PM.

all that is "Folkish" is not always SS or TR

not all that is folksy looking Bauern (farm motifs) , Maerchen und Sagen kunst (fairy tales,Sagas images) or for that matter, Alt Trachten schmuck or schnitzte Holz ( traditional garb , jewelry and carved wood objects) is TR in general or SS in particular.
Some things are.
Others are not.

I have a pair of these chairs that were made in either Germany or Northern Europe pre-'45. Dunno if they are Deutsches Heimatwerk products or not, but they certainly has similarities (minus the Nordic mäander design) to some of the sturdier lounge chairs that DH produced. It is a research project in progress I suppose (if anyone has any pics of a similar chair it would be appreciated).
they were clearly reupholstered in the 1960s with some sort of blue vinyl material, and I'm looking for something more appropriate. The closest I've found is this Medieval-influenced tapestry pattern that reminiscent, but still looks a tad more French than German. Alternately, I might go for a plain leather (or simulated leather - I don't want to spend a fortune here on objects I haven't confirmed, and will primarily be used as furniture in my home), which would be less distracting from the form of the chairs. Does anyone have any suggestions, or a source for more accurate fabric?

I hope those cookies will be offered at your table at next years SOS! I'm sure it would attract lots of customers and maybe a few whackos, which are always fun to watch.

not sure if i would say ss, most publications i have seen (wienachten book of 1943, a vlormingboden book i have seen also has 3). In a book I have read recently mentions the refrence of 3 candles
"This first candle, is for all the brave men who have given their lives for our country. They were willing to die so that Germany could rise to her rightful place among the nations"
"The second candle, We who survive the battle will enjoy life becaise of the sacrifices of others. We are marching speedily to our goal"
"The third candle, is for the family"
I could be wrong beautiful candle holder though.

Originally posted by Steve T View PostThe single candle holder is quite interesting too.. quoted from the page on The German Propaganda Archive:
'The cradle festival, the celebration of the birth of a child conducted within a small family circle, is something new for many people. We are convinced that this is something fathers must take on once again. We do not want to imitate a church ritual, although we realize that the church did not hesitate in the past to imitate the customs of our ancestors. It was an old custom to light a fire for the new born child. It grew out of the idea that life is like a fire. ..........
In place of the child in the illustration to the right, the ancient life rune stands, with an arc on both sides that surround it, just as parents surround and protect a child..'Attached Files
