BURGERHAUS Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 [attachmentid=35643][attachmentid=35644] Don, would you happen to have a photo of this in wear? Have a nice weekend. Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scowen Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 (edited) I'm afraid not Robert, although I do have somewhere pix of the standard blue enamel version, & the rectangle gold bordered ones in wear. I'll dig them out & post them later.CheersDon Edited April 29, 2006 by scowen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosenberg Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Could you please name that beauty at least? I haven?t seen this one before,only the brooch like version with date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scowen Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 (edited) Sorry Dan, it's the Deutsche Stenografenschaft Leistungsabzeichen in Bronze, it also came in silver & gold, but I don't know exactly what it was awarded for.When you say the "brooch like version with date", do you mean the "Deutscher Meister" version like below? If so do you have one as I've never seen one of these only in drawings. If you do have one, don't post it here, start a new thread & we'll put the Steno stuff together.CheersDon Edited April 29, 2006 by scowen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosenberg Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 (edited) Don,thanks for the naming!Sorry for my confusing reply,but you got me perfectly. However,I am afraid to state that I don?t have anything from the Stenographen Bund.Whenever I encountered stuff that looked like from them it was either too pricey IMO or I was uncertain about the authenticity. Although I start getting the picture it is pretty scarce stuff and I should have paid the price back then.

Scowen Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 As you can see I've started a fresh thread on the Steno' organisation. The above posts were taken from the Stickpin thread & I've edited them slightly to "fit" them here. Please post any Steno related items you have. I'll start off with a members book & pin set I have. The cover has bleached out for some reason in the picture I'm afraid, but is actually a deep blue colour. Cheers Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scowen Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 A WHW man who one an award for service during the winter 1933-34 wears the standard membership pin. Cheers Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Party Pin Guy Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 I'm sure you know already Don, but it looks like the happy guy above works for the Reichslotterie, with the rare cap eagle and the odd uniform. He seems to be holding a (winning?) ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BURGERHAUS Posted April 30, 2006 Author Share Posted April 30, 2006 [attachmentid=37077][attachmentid=37078] Don, A nice and not often seen membership book you have there. I have seen only one other example like that. It wasn't in very good condition either. Tell me, are there dues stamps inside and if so what years are included? No need to scan and post I am just curious. Thanks for showing the book and badge. Here is my standard Stenografenschaft Badge. Here we go.

Scowen Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 Stephen, I've often wondered about this picture, is he the winner of the lottery, or perhaps did he sell more tickets that any others in his area & receive a ticket or award/voucher? He must have been proud in any case to have his portrait taken, as it's a private photo not a press image. The wording on his folder says Dein Opfer, google comes up with your victim which I guess is not the case here Here's the ticket, best I can do. [attachmentid=37151] Here's the cap badge, matches the wording on the ticket. I'd love one of these badges..... [attachmentid=37152] Robert, There are some stamps but only for 1936. Nice pin, I won't post mine as it's the same, but I'm curious as to whether there are any maker marked ones out there, I've only seen Ges. Gesch.

Rosenberg Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 Don,the way I see it the guy is working for the Reichslotterie just as GPG said.It looks like a set-up picture where he just shows a ticket of the WHW lottery.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David C Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 I have had this for a number of years now and have always distrusted it because of the condition and that the guy in the photo looks older than 18 to me. Despite the first pic the cover is a very dark blue and the lettering is gold. Everything is inert under UV. The push-through paperclips, although a little rusty, look modern to me. Are they faking these things? I would be interested in any opinions guys. Cheers, David. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerd Becker Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Thanks folks.Great book, David. I am sure, Don and Robert know more than i do about these, but the book and stamps look perfect to me and i can?t believe, they are faking these. At least, i hope Gerd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scowen Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 I don't think it's fake. At the worst it could be played with, as in the picture added later etc. I see rust marks on the last page where the dome of the clips touch the paper. Is there corresponding rust on the clips? The same for the front part of the books some rust but does it match the clips?CheersDon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David C Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Yes Don, the rust pattern on the pages and the clips is consistent. I suppose it is possible that as it appears to have only been valid over a 4 month period that it went into a draw for 65 years and popped back up in such fine shape. How about that photo, anyone think that that could be an 18-year-old?Thanks guys.Cheers,David. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
