Cultural wooden plates

[jiipee76]

Are these 3 plates related to 3rd reich period in any way?

They were sold to me here in estand as such items more than year ago.

3rd Reich period referring to between 1933 and 1945, I'd presume. Anyway, there are not any direct links to TR on these, sorry. Could have well been made before 1933 or after 1945.

Hi,

I agree with Andreas, these can in no way be proven to be be from the period 33 - 45.


Please do a search for the "cultural thread" and if you have the time browse through the over 200 pages of posts about (among other with fake stories humped up items) plates. It's a real eyeopener and rightfully so closed. This area of collecting is very polluted by one individual and there are probably dozens of collectors like you who have been told the same fake stories to rob them from their money. I hope you didnt pay too much for them.

best regards,
Gaston

The fact they're NOT marked with Nazi logos, makes their chances of being authentic older pieces, much higher. Most fakers concentrate on Nazi items, because they would fetch far more, if they're real. NICE carving on that horse's head.

sgstandard,
Normally that is decent advice which I also generally adhere to, But In this place/specific market of wooden Nazi/SS plates (wood plates-tellers what have you) the fakes progressed past the obvious marks and into the less obvious on purpose in a way to fool while utilizing your stated collector maxim on Nazi logos , SS "bells and whistles," raise the alarm...but these without the overt symbols are safe from being faked.

Also, old plates made before Nazi era (during Nazi era but in no way "Nazi")and after Nazi era that were not originally made to fool anybody, have, in the last few years been touted as authentic Nazi affiliated plates
