Imperial German Christmas Ornament

[Correus]

Hello Everyone,

Went to an antique mall today here in snow covered freezing Kansas. I found something I never thought I'd ever see, a German blown glass patriotic Christmas tree ornament. This thing has got to be a reproduction, yet who would reproduce something like this?

Unfortunately it doesn't have the red band around the feldmütze so I'm not sure if it's supposed to be Bayern, train or what.

No one else who will see it on our tree will know what it it, but I will. Besides, for $2 I couldn't say "no" to it.

On Emig Militaria and on German Ebay.de you'll find various little Zeppelins, Hindenburgs, Iron Cross Tree Tops, small planes, etc etc...$2 is a great price too...
cheers, Glenn

Yup...I've seen them on those types of websites, yet this is podunk, out of the way Kansas - THAT'S what surprised me.

I've been wanting to create a WWI themed feather tree for the den, perhaps this is a "sign" I should go for it.
