  • Lead Crystal White Wine Glass from Adolf Hitler’s Personal Table Service at The Berghof

    Lead Crystal White Wine Glass from Adolf Hitler’s Personal Table Service at The Berghof

    Absolutley stunning Lead Crystal White Wine Glass used at important events held at Adolf Hitler’s mountain residence in the Bavarian alps, The Berghof, this incredible piece is from Hitler’s Personal Table Service which was used exclusively by him and his immediate entourage.

    The wine glass bears an engraved left-facing (political) eagle and swastika which is flanked on either side by Hitler’s initials, ‘AH’. The top rim of the glass and its base are finished in gold trim. It has a facetted stem. To the underside of the base can be found the makermark for Master Glassmaker firm of Josephinenhütte.
    Josephinenhütte, a Silesian glassworks in the Sudeten Mountains, founded in 1842 by Count Leopold von Schaffgotsch and named after his beloved wife Josephine. The glassmaker Franz Pohl, head of Josephinenhütte, was a gifted creator and artistic pioneer who went beyond the boundaries of what was thought possible in glassmaking at the time. Thus, were created glass objects of technical sophistication and absolute beauty, which made the historic Josephinenhütte one of the most significant glassworks in Europe and the New World. The glassworks is still in practice to this day.
    In 1936 – 1937, as per their catalouge, they produced two designs of crystal glassware, the first being “Frohlinde” and the second pattern in the same year called “Josephine”, this beautiful example is a “Josephine“.

    Much of the Adolf Hitler personal silverware survived but the glassware is extremely rare to find.

    As mentioned, Adolf Hitler Personal Glassware is incredibly rare to find, the “Joshepine” pattern has been seen, briefly, in the past once at auction in 2011, also one or two have popped up on premium millitaria websites over the years, but have never lasted long.
    However, the “Frohlinde” pattern seems to be the more commonly found of these rare glasses, the most recent (that we have discovered) one showing up at a prestigious U.S. Auction House in February 2017, ‘Adolf Hitler Wine Glass captured by the 506th P.I.R.’, even though this beautiful glass had been broken off it`s stem and repaired it still fetched $4,500. (£3,635.)

    A truly stunning Adolf Hitler personal use item, an absolute must have for the diserning collector.

    Please watch out for a second rare piece, this time a champagne glass, from the same collection which will be listed very soon.

    Deutsche Reichsbahn Large Oval Serving Tray from Adolf Hitler’s Executive Dining Wagon 10 ‘242’

    Deutsche Reichsbahn Large Oval Serving Tray from Adolf Hitler’s Executive Dining Wagon 10 ‘242’

    A quite Superb Large oval serving tray, made from German heavy silver plate ‘Alpaka’ produced by Bruckmann for the Deutsche Reichsbahn Sonderzugs.
    The tray carries designation marks for Adolf Hitler’s Fuhurersonderzug ‘Amerika’, and in particular carriage number ‘242’ which was Hitler’s Executive dining wagon from 1937 to 1940.
    The tray is accentuated with a raised rounded band edge to the obverse and features a spectacular and finely detailed Deutsche Reichsbahn Eagle with wreathed Swastika straddled by the letters D and R all in relief to the center top rim. To the reverse is found the stamped Bruckmann ‘train’ makers mark, followed by ’ALPAKA’ indicating heavy silver plate, and then the impressed number ‘242’ indicating the wagon number.
    The outstanding highlight of this tray is the huge Deutsche Reichsbahn Eagle and Swastika motif, which is a whopping 2, 1/2 inches by 1, 1/2 inches (6.4cm x 3.8cm), much larger than the standard motif found on ‘normal’ train wagons, like Göring’s.

    This tray also contains a higher content of ‘silver plate’ weighing almost an extra 150g more than ‘normal’ trays.

    The ‘242’ tableware was relocated to its replacement cars, ‘244’ and ‘245’ in 1940, this magnificent piece would have continued in service untill the end of the war, and would have been utilised in the presence of Hitler whenever he was on board his train.
    Interestingly, these trays are referenced in Traudl Junge’s book ‘Hitler’s Last Secretary‘, She described “a small table had been laid for about six people in the Fuhrer’s saloon car. We were all standing in what little space the table left free. It was quite cramped, and the staff had to push their way past behind the chairs. It was all simple and casual. The orderlies and Linge (Hitler’s Valet) immediately brought in trays of dishes and platters. Linge served the Fuhrer creamed potatoes and fried eggs and put a glass of Fachinger mineral water by his plate. Hitler ate crisp-bread with his meal” (Text courtesy of James A. Yannes, from his book,’The Trains of Hitler, Göring et al‘).

    Please check out our gallery photographs for this piece, we have included some actual images of Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini, along with their respective entourage, on the platform outside wagon number ’10 242’, it is quite extraordinary, or maybe creepy, to know that the tray we present here was on that train wagon at that time.

    Without doubt this is one of those ‘If it could talk‘ pieces!

    Adolf Hitler Silver Formal Napkin Ring from The Berghof, Bruckmann & Sohne ‘935’

    Adolf Hitler Silver Formal Napkin Ring from The Berghof, Bruckmann & Sohne ‘935’

    A superb silver napkin ring from Adolf Hitler’s personal formal silverware, it features a large embossed Fuehrer Adler (the Leader’s Eagle) clutching a wreathed Swastika which is flanked by Hitler’s initials ‘A’ & ‘H’. The opposite side of the ring has the impressed Bruckmann maker mark along with further hallmarks; a crescent moon, the imperial crown, the imperial eagle, and the silver purity mark ‘935’. The top and bottom of the ring have an impressed greek-key ‘Meander’ border.
    Originally there are believed to have been six complete sets of 500 pieces, 3,000 pieces in total, commissioned by Albert Speer and manufactured by Bruckmann in the ‘formal pattern’ of silver flatware and tableware presented to Hitler on the event of his 50th birthday on 20th April 1939. The formal silverware sets were distributed among the places Hitler frequented the most; the ‘Berghof’ (Hitler’s mountain home), ‘Kehlsteinhaus’ (the Eagle’s Nest), the ‘Gasthaus’ (Guest House) at Obersalzberg, the ‘Braune Haus’ (the ‘Brown House’), his ‘Prinzregentenplaz’ apartment in Munich, and the ‘Reichskanzlei’ in Berlin.

    The Formal pattern AH silver napkin rings can also be found with ‘800’ and ‘925’ purity stamps.

    The design for the AH Formal silverware is attributed to Adolf Hitler himself adding yet another level of desirable collectability to these pieces!
