rare shellenbaum pole top
hi members
i believe this to be a rare genuine ww2 shellenbaum pole top was wondering if you guys can tell me if this one goes to something like the jingling johnny standarte pole top. this top is nickled on brass there are no markings like drgm or rzm marks at all it weighs one pound n half havnt had one of these rare to find pole tops in years sure was happy to get this one out of the wood work appreciate any help you can give me thanks again andy militarynutComment

Sizewise it looks more like a eagle for a Glockenspiel. Schellenbaum eagle would be much larger. Regards, Ed.Ed. Anderson,Jr.
The film "Idiocracy" was originally released as a comedy. Now it has been re-released as a documentary.

small eagle on wreath pole top ???
Hello alfred213:Originally posted by alfred213 View Post
IMO too small for SBB use, but rather more likely an
early 1930's commercial German flag company sold
non-RZM flag pole top. Other variations I've noticed
have just the round wreath, as shown in a pre-WW2
period commercial catalog graphic provided below.
