Rheinland tobacco jug.

Heres my favorite piece I got in Germany this past vacation..

Just came in the mail today.

dated 1930..

My relatives told me it was for storing tobacco at a store and the proceeds of the sales went for the "cause"

I really love the eagle with the broken chains..

Thanks

for looking

Hi George,

Beautiful piece!!!! Have never seen the like! What is the size on this... just in rough terms? Looks "big" and heavy!

Very unusual and definitely a centerpiece for any collection of German memorabilia from that period. Gorgeous! Great find!!!! Congrats!!!!

Thanks for sharing!

Hi George,

Definitely! Sounds like a good sized piece. Great place to keep those midnight snack cookies or chips and such.

Great piece!

Very neat! I've never seen one like it! I doubt that many would have survived, even pre33.
