Nice gifts for Christmas you got there. I wish even more in 2013.
Happy new year.

Thank you for your kind words. This now dying year had one more surprise to me half an hour ago, but as my cam's charger is hidden to some place I just can't identify at the moment (a lot of wine and beer!), the pictures will follow in the first days of new year.

To all drinking equipment lovers and everyone else here- happy new year and may your collections grow faster than ever before, cheers!

My last catch of 2012- this mutilated Tränkeimer came to family in new years eve. The long strap and tightening rope have been cut much shorter.

Kaffeebehälter, marked with WaA, dated 43, but I just can't read the maker's mark (it looks to have only two letters- fg???). Seems like I now need the boxes for Tee, Gewürtz, Salz etc., too

Kriegsmarine Kanne (made by Ritter) and heavily injured mess tin, which still has several pieces of shrapnel on it's body.

Early large jug, marked MN36 (nothing on the bottom). Some Belgian painter has given a new look to it.

Nice additions mate. Are these relics?

The three on the backgroung are found in garbage. Red enamel jugs are both marked RAD, I had never seen these before I got one. Now I know there is one more RAD water jug lying somewhere in the forest and I hope I get this one too one day.

It is unbelieveable that some people throw away historical pieces like these.

Messtins armaggedon: some Germans and Russians plus one Italian.
