I also post here what I belive to be a Adolf Hitler formal pattern napkin, but I need opinions. Just bought this one and opinions are welcome. Please view previous by me.

I had to 'give away' my remaining formal/informal 'AH' silverware for $900 each at the SOS, so that will give everyone an idea of the 'real value' at the moment per piece.
That's a loss for me of $200-$395 each on most, and a $500 loss on one; the formal 'ice cream' spoon that I paid $1400 for. Lesson learned, but at quite a price!
Don't pay this $1200+ crap, as you'll never get it back....at least not in this decade.

I wish I'd known that you had some for sale. I've been sort of looking for an informal AH dinner fork for a decent price for a while now to go with a spoon and knife I picked up years ago (when they were relatively inexpensive).

Selling this Berchtesgaden issue of Yank! Would look great with a AH silver collection!

Okay, I'm a day late on posting this but I thought you guys would be interested as I don't think I've shown this before.

This was a hand painted plate given to Hitler on his birthday in 1934, signed S Stork for Sofie Stork - a Munich artist, friend of Hitler's and Eva Braun's and member of the Berghof inner circle.

From the photo archive research I have done, I'm almost certain she gave Hitler a handmade item each year. In his office, was a lampshade also painted by her. One of her pieces is also on display in the 45th Infantry Division in Oklahoma.

Stork also painted a set for Eva Braun's villa in Munich.

I'm pretty certain the front of the plate shows Frederick the Great, possibly as the Battle of Rossbach. But the historians among us will, I hope, correct me if I am wrong!

Very nice CPB and the Stork pieces are very special and hard to find.

[BrianK]

Like the Stork plates - not all over the place like the silverware.

[ErichS]

CPB, how many Stork plates do you have in your collection?

[CPB]

Over the years, I have acquired three. There are others out there, but they very rarely come to the market.

Some background info to Sofie Stork.

And here is a close-up of a panel from the lamp shade in Hitler's Berghof study, also painted by Sofie Stork. This is in another collection somewhere.
