Thiele & Steinert

[Michael Everett]

Gents,

As some of you may be aware, a Thiele and Steinert insignia Gold mine was recently discovered and included ALL hausmuster insignia produced by this firm during the Third Reich. The discovery included an example of each Heer, Marine, Luftwaffe, and para-military insignia approved for wear during the period produced by this company. I was able to acquire three pieces and was wondering if any of you were lucky to 'score' others?

Here are mine:

Here is my Gun Layer badge that I was lucky to purchase from a forum member. The scan simply does not do it justice as it is the same wonderful golden colour as yours.

Cheers

The quality of bullion / celon embroidery work produced by the Germans in the 30s & 40s never ceases to amaze me. Stunning pieces - congraulations!

It seems that some of the accessory items made in major cities (berlin munich etc)are a step or two above the norm...Remember looking at the remnants of a few coffee cans of metal insignia sold at a max show a while black..the quality of virtually every piece made the rest look like dog****..BIG west coast dealers bought almost all of it...Billbert

I would love to see some Luftwaffe collar tabs from this firm!!

Michael,

Absolutely gorgeous stuff, I guess I missed out on all of it. I am assuming it wasn't cheap for this quality of items with the tags and envelopes, etc. I would have been happy to settle for some of that cap insignia without the tags. Congratulations to all you who were in the right place at the right time.

Thiele and Steinert

Hi, once again I turn to this site to find answers.
We collect vintage binoculars and found valuable answers for our questions, but now a compleatly different issue make me turn to this forums dedicated members:

We also collect Lace paterns and store a huge collection, but recently we got a Stoffmusterbuch of Thiele and Steinert with a huge amount of gold bands and finer pieces , -- a foto proberly are better than my bad english ;


While I still have problems "hochladen" , please go the the Flickr link

Now the book hold handwitten notes, saying it was used in 1857, but There are handwritten Columns like "A" "AA" "AAA" --- "B" "bb" "BBB" where sample pieces have been aranged much nicer than in the foto. But it looks like the wax glue that was used to place each sample grew old and hard, and so the samples must have been moved to the front of the book with just a number along it, --- this book simply have been more "alive" and used for storing ever new pieces and samples, so the original ordering could not continue when samples had to be placed again when the glue loosened. In the handwritten notes, I seen year 1857 aswell as 1863 mentioned, but the book was published 1837, proberly as an emty book that then recived samples while these were manufactored.. Notes also refere names of clients.

Anyway, we came in posession of this fine sample book by chance and know very little about the firm, it's products and in fact, what this book contain.
So it is a very general question ; what is it we now posess, are this book very unique or is it a trivial collection of finer pieces ?

If you can see these, there are also four Video's I made of four small boxes with samples ;

I hope these links work, -- they are Facebook links, but are public so you should be able to reach them.

Anyway, What I can see is that the book and boxes contain "raw materials" for making awards among other finer things, --- the book seem fairly complete even many of the oldest pages with the original numbering are emty ; I can simply see that the samples must have been moved to the pages you see one of in the foto. And this is what our efford will deal with now, to see if we can document this.

I must ask you members of any relevant information though. The book are more a museum piece and must be treated very carefully, so I am about to take foto's of each page to upload them onto our Facebook albums, where we allready display our Binocular collection and small parts of our Lace collection. --- I found this tread that havenot been answered for several years, and even my subject don't exactly refere the subject for the tread, then the tread deal with this particular firm.

Thank you for your time.
