The fake brass "Cyanide Phial Container" as described in the first posting has been available for years from USM Inc., PO Box 2600, Rapid City, SD 57709-2600, wholesale to dealers @ $17.50 each, for as many as you want. The "77" is meant to be an SS contract nr. & the "42" is supposed to be the year. The Tesch und Stabenow Firm (Dr. Bruno Tesch & Herr Paul Stabenow) markings refer to this pest-control company, of Zyklon-B infamy. This same fake is also available from Hammer, Lincoln, NE, @ the same price, as their item #6253.

Confirmed Fake
http://www.usmbooks.com/pins.html
After seeing this link, I'm convinced that the SS poison capsual is indeed a fake.
Selling for 55 dollars in the USA and over 700 Euro in Berlin Germany. Whew! I'm so glad I didnt fall for it. I'm sorry for someone else though.
Kudos to the bright chap that clued me in.Comment

Going through some of my old stuff to sell on eBay, I found this old ciggarette lighter.....when getting it ready for listing, I discovered that it wasn't a lighter at all! It was....guess what! A small phial container of some kind with all these German type markings on it. Now what could this be?Comment

This lighter, I mean, Phial Container measures about 1 1/2 inches long with a diameter of a bit less that 1/2 inch. Any ideas on what it is worth today. Something tells me eBay won't take it.Comment

Well, if you go to the link in Post #48, you can buy one just like it for $55, but I think that is about an order of magnitude high for such a fake POS.Originally posted by Viewfinder View PostComment

Geez
$55 sounds a little high. Maybe 20 bucks. And what the hell would I do with it? Give'em out to Dealers? Party Favors?Comment
