Hi MAP Thank you for your comments and for the invisible "Like". Cheers Michael R
PS Have you seen or responded to the thread regarding the "Like" option?

Yup. Voted early and often and had many hearty laughs on the original thread about the likes

I collect mainly Imperial era iron crosses so anything
Ek related catches my eye. Some of these fall into the
ephemera slot.

first up is a art deco style wood box I would guess to be
from the early part of ww2.

Chopperman,
Can you tell us a little about the box, how you acquired it and other things you may know about it.......great looking box, I'd like to have it as well. Beautiful.

Not much to tell. I bought it from a fellow forum member
who really didn't know much about it either.
It is about 7 inches by 10 inches and 3 1/2 inches tall.
The iron cross is a one piece patriotic item marked DRGM
with a screw back style attachment.

No way to know what it originally intended for but now it's
a good place to store some of my misc collection crap.

Next up is a neat brass wall plaque. It is roughly 8 inches square
and is made of wood with a thin brass sheet covering it.
Purchased off ebay many years ago.

Chopperman ,
appears to be a copper hammering, where someone took an EK and then hammered the outline onto the copper sheet. I like it. This is turning out to be quite a D&P show.

It's much bigger than an Ek.

Two more pieces from me. Both are Iron cross related
but are not crosses.

These are Liebig collectors cards. One from a series
printed in 1905 shows the awarding of Louise Order and
the 1871 maiden's cross. The other is from a series printed
in 1898 that shows the awarding of the 1813 Iron cross. I
picked these up to display with my originals of these crosses.
