Unternehmen - what is it?

[Dave Suter]

Trying to help a friend out here. The pictures pretty much speak for themselves. What is this?

[Dave Suter]

And the back...

[Ken Jasper]

Dave,

That is a disc that German shopkeepers tacked up on the door jam of their shop to show that it was a "German concern or undertaking" as opposed to a Jewish shop. It kept the windows in tact and the customers coming. I have had one of these for years. The only difference is that the original manufacturer's label is still on the reverse of mine.

[Dave Suter]

Well now, that was quick! Thanks Ken..

[James Noble]

The disk translates "GERMAN ENTERPRISE"

SARGE...

Nice piece - very historical of the political feelings at the time... a real keeper.

Ken - excellent and timely guidance... Thanks.

[Dave Suter]

Yea - I wish it was mine. Owner is up in Canada north of Portland somewhere. I am gonna try and buy it though...

I appreciate all the help.

[Ken Jasper]

Dave, That is only the second one of those I have seen in all my years of collecting. I am curious what the owner might ask for it since I believe it has limited appeal to collectors. It should be of interest to political collectors like myself.
