Deutsche Reichsbahn Short-Stem Champagne Shot Glass Flute
Incredibly Rare Champagne shot glass flute from one of the Deutsche Reichsbahn Salon Wagons, most likely for high ranking staff, Hermann Göring or Hitler himself maybe, Hitler was known to be a teetotaller but when glasses such as this little one were used to toast a special event, etc.., he would have drunk something non-alcoholic from it while others enjoyed the champagne!
This beautiful little glass features a stunning, deeply hand-etched 3-D effect Deutsche Reichsbahn Eagle and swastika motif with ‘D’ & ‘R’ straddling the wreathed swastika.
On one or two extremely rare cases over the past forty to fifty years, or so, a full-sized Deutsche Reichsbhan wine glass has popped up and if you ever see one again please let us know!!
On the other hand, this little DR Champagne Flute is the only one we have ever seen and there is no record (as far as we know) of another one ever being available for sale on the open market making it an incredibly rare find and a superb investment.
