Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:599704 | Country/Region of Manufacture: Germany |
It's beer stein day here with The Mighty Atom. Here is an army one for a change, No. 2 Transport Company, Royal Canadian Army Service Corps. The lidded stein stands 9" tall and is in excellent condition. There is a very nice enamelled map of the sector on the face of this, a nice feature for a transport unit. From Lunen to Herdecke, from Lippstadt down to Warstein. All of this is shown south of the Koln - Berlin highway. I am assuming the 70 for...mation sign is for a Brigage? Perhaps the company. Not sure. The maple leaf is for the 1st Canadian Infantry Division. This map was in the British Sector of occupied Germany.The base of this stein measures 3 1/2" across. You can see it was made by Hoehr. Handgemalt (hand decorated). This is getting pretty far back for Canadian German collectibles and this Cold War stuff is always nice to find.Best of luck and thanks for looking at one of my auctions.The Mighty Atom
