German Home Front items

[Bill Medland]

In Germany every three months we have "Bulk Rubbish Collections".
People put out their rubbish that will not fit into the normal dustbins.

Beate and I were on our way home from the shops on Monday and we saw someone having a clear out of old stuff from the 1920s and 1930s Wow!

We asked if we could take some of the stuff and we were told "Help yourself".

We took a 1925 childrens pram, three 30s suitcases, baskets and a rare Selmer Clarinet (Paris, 1930)......... here are two pics before we restore the items for our German Home Front display.

Cheers, Bill.

They will make great additions to your display. Nice that you saved them from the bin men.
