"Kampf un's dritte Reich" with problems...

**kgrunt** · 03-14-2013, 02:30 PM

Here is something I found in the house,its a sticker album. The stickers appear to have come from packages of cigarettes. Believe it or not I actually found this very same album available on at amazone.com. Its like a Meine Kampf with pictures,Hitler is very much pictured on every page...it from 1933/34

"Kampf un's dritte Reich" with problems...

The reason I post this is I have 2 problems:

#1 I have a sticker that has fallen off on page 25,which is good in the way that it gives us a chance to see the back of the stickers...Should I re-apply it or leave it?

#2 there seems to be a strange spot on the front page that appears to be making its way through all the other pages...does anyone have any experience with old paper...is this spreading?

I would appreciate anyone's opinion...

Well this tread has bombed,I assume its not a popular item...I have placed acid free sheets between the affected pages. Just for interest here is the Amazone link, I just thought it was strange that it is available although from independent sellers: Kampf um's Dritte Reich: Eine Historische Bilderfolge (Battle for the Third Reich: Historical Visual Successes): Heinrich Hoffmann, Leopold von Schenkendorf: Amazon.com: Books

The Reetsma cigarette empire had close connections to the NSDAP and these cigarette picture albums very a popular way that Heinrich Hoffman's pictures of Hitler were merchandised.
Your is a nice piece of the early years of the regime, along with the "Deutschland Erwacht!" album, as well as the "Adolf Hitler" variant, and there is a companion volume to yours of the later early years of the regime.
These are not especially rare, but when they are complete, they are nice. The photos were sold with cigarettes. I would get interoperable mucilage or something similar and put the images back in.

Re-affixing the card which has fell out would be acceptable to me.

The brown dot is foxing I think you will find. This often affects old paper and can be fixed.

Cheers, Ade.

It is also nice that it has its Schuber with it, that is, its box.

Wow thank you, I have just learned something really new...Foxing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia I can only hope it does not spread to much,I am hoping that by adding the papers between the pages it will stop the spread...
