This item for sale in the Miscellaneous Third Reich Thread needs to be discussed:
The Problem I am discussing is specifically with the MISLEADING description provided by the seller .
The description given for this so-called “NS/SS” candle- holder is not true and misleading .
The SS book and page cited to vaguely prove this item is in any way associated with the SS book’s content (description of SS ceremonies) is not correct.
On page #36 in the The 1st edition of “Die Feier” there is no mention made of ANY Ingrune candle holder.
I have this book and the 2nd edition. As such I can simply turn to the page cited to check for correctness.
Instead there is a description of a Life rune and a Ing rune to be decorating “The main wall of the ceremonial space along with greenery and flowers”
The only candle- holders described (on P#36) for weddings as well as the only candle-holders prescribed for weddings on this page are Julleuchters!
As an aside the Ingrune symbol mentioned on page #36 is specifically described as being standing (vertical) as opposed to lying sideways(horizontal) as the item for sale is…if it can even really be described as an Ingrune-which is also debatable (although here it gets subjective-being in the eye of the beholder’s wishful thinking).
As most will not have this edition , I am posting mine to felicitate immediate proof of my claims.
Below is the Exact Description as posted in the MISCELLANEOUS THIRD REICH ITEMS E-Stand
“Dear cultural collectors,
Here I offer an outstanding period wedding candleholder out of my collection for sale.
The piece itself represents - masterly carved - the Ingrune, due to the SS-booklet "Die Feier" (First issue, page 36; published via the SS-Hauptamt by RF-SS Heinrich Himmler) one of the three officially specified germanic runes representing the wedding ceremony and the tightness of love between the couple, between man and woman.
The octagonal shape of it´s ends reminds strongly of the SS Allach logo and is - among other elements - typical for period composition.
The piece itself is in great original and completely untouched condition - the wood bears a lovely patina which adds to the character and beautiness of this delightful cultural item.
Length is 28,5 cm - height is 14 cm.
Price including trackable DHL shipping is 155 Euros.
Payment via Paypal or IBAN bank transfer. “
