cabbell2207 Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Hello Gang,I could use help on this one. I picked this fork up a local antique store and am not shure what the nazi logo on it is. The reverse of the fork is stamped bruckmann 90. Anyone have an idea where in Germany this may have come from?Thanks All Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rick Research Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 That design was used on a tinnie for one of the annual Party Rallies from the 1930s. That's as far as dim memory will take me. Must have been made for the occasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev in Deva Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Was the design not also connected with Kunst & Wissenschaft ?especially the helmeted head motifI seem to recall it on the cover of a book printed circa 1938? and on a medal.

cabbell2207 Posted April 26, 2008 Author Share Posted April 26, 2008 (edited) Well my thought was that it was the arts and science ministry, but i'm not shure. Edited April 26, 2008 by cabbell2207 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scowen Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 The symbol is the the head of Pallas Athene, godess of the arts. First used in 1933 for the first day of German art (15th Oct), it is more usually associated with the opening of the Haus der Deutschen Kunst in Munich on the 16th July 1937.The badge Rick mentions is the tinnie issued to celebrate the event "Tag der Deutschen Kunst" 16th-18th July 1937.What the fork is for is anyones guess. Could be cutlery from the cafeteria for the visitors, or , from the celebration meal at the opening (if there was one) or just sold as mementos........CheersDon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cabbell2207 Posted April 27, 2008 Author Share Posted April 27, 2008 Just found out some great info. I did a little internet digging and found an original add for the resturant in the kunst house in the 1937 exhibition catalog. The add says the resturant uses bruckmann dinner ware and shows photos of the fork and other ware. It seems this was a add for the resturant and bruchman. Mystery solved.Thanks gang for the great leads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
