    Wooden Tobacco Box With Ukrainian inscription & Swastika

    I got banned for trying to get information about this on Reddit.. Pretty sad..

    Anyways I would love to learn more about this item I found. Looking at it more closely I actually found caked tobacco on the inner corners.. The Inscription translates to "Vinnytsia" which was a major Ukrainian city invaded during Operation Barbarossa.. It also has 1942 & 1943 inscribed..

    Thank you guys, please don't hate me for posting this, I have gained quite a group of people hating me and trying to shame me for simply having this..

    If you can zoom in on the second pic you can actually see a couple strands of tobacco caked into the inside corner.

    This item looks totally believable to me. Likely made as a souvenir for sale or trade to German occupation troops. Other hand-carved wooden souvenir items from this era exist, whether carved by the German soldiers, or, as appears to be the case here, by locals.
