Hi everyone!
Alabama Jar here, and I have locked away deep in my collection a jar that never sees the light of day. (Except for in these pictures.) This jar has subject manner that is from a very dark part of our world’s history specifically Germany’s history.
Died
The emblem etched into the jar after it was manufactured. On too if the lid is the emblem of the third reich’s storm trooper division, and on the paper liner inside the emblem stamped in ink. Local experts of a veteran’s museum’s best guess is that a high ranking officer had this jar (and probably several others) commissioned for his unit to use. I am currently trying to find and expert who knows more about nazi glass.
I have no doubt that the jar is real, etching the emblem into glass was common in nazi Germany, also the jar has the tail tell signs of a jar that would’ve been made during the WWII era. Finally the lid’s patina is from genuine age not from being applied or from having been artificially aged.
I bought this jar for a few reasons:
1. I’m a huge WWII geek
2. Foreign jars from the WWII period are rare in the states.
3. There is as far as I know only one other jar like this one in the U.S. it could even be that mine and the other one are possibly the only two left in the world.
If anyone knows anything about WWII German glass
I would appreciate any knowledge that may give me some further clues about this jar. I plan on after I get the jar authenticated donating it to the local veteran’s museum.
