I Think This Is Fantasy

Made by a 4 year old by the looks of it , hideous to say the least !

Ahha!

That is my lucky locket. I always wondered what happened to it. I used it to store a picture of my Mother-in -Law. I think I lost it some years back when I was cavorting on the Beach in Fiji with some Polynesian Girl.

That looks like a match box to me. someone must have had a poor grade in High School metal work class last year.

Scandalous.

I think you must all be blind!

This is DEFINETELY for my collection!!!

You just failed to see the RZM marks on the inner lid and L11 on the skull.

As you history buffs know..... during the final stages of the war, materials and craftsmanship were very badly affected. This also adds credibility to this container as obviously the Germans were out of cyanide, so they put a piece of gum in this container so in the event of capture, the Officer could commit suicide by choking on the gum....

OK... can't type with a straight face anymore.....

I had to post this here for posterity. This is one of the most laughable things I have seen, even on eBay.

" You are bidding on a WWII German SS Officers Arsenic container.
This was found in a local estate with other German SS items. We will be listing them at a later time. This container was worn around the officers neck in case of capture , the officer could take his own life. It is in very good condition, and shows minor signs of use. Please view photos. The container measures 1 1/4" in length and 1/2" wide. There is just enough room for a few arsenic pills."

notice that the seller has 3000+ sales on eBay. One wonders how many other buyers were provided such an accurate description.

The design of the skull and bones looks like something you might see at some Concentration Camp Museum or some other such place where executions took place. Next thing they'll try to auction is the very arsenic container used by Martin Bormann!
