WWII German NSDAP Silver Service Set Featured on Manion’s International Auction Items from WWII Germany sent home by US Army Veteran for sale on www.manions.com
News-Antique.com - Nov 30,-0001 - When US Army Captain Sterling Hill returned from Europe after WWII, he was surprised to find a crate of “liberated” political silver service items waiting for him in a barn on his family farm – nearly a year after it had been shipped home from occupied Germany.
According to his son, Captain Hill took part in liberating a building previously occupied by high-ranking NSDAP officials and high command military personnel. On the top shelf in an obscure closet, Hill discovered a cache of NSDAP silver service items. He shipped them home, but never really expected to see them again…
Today these extremely rare items are consigned for sale with Manion’s International Auction House and bids may be placed at www.manions.com. Several of these unique pieces are scheduled to close March 1, 2007. Some of the items include:
· NSDAP silver service condiment caddy
· NSDAP cocktail shaker
· Adolf Hitler silver presentation photo frame
· NSDAP champagne cooler
· Von Hindenburg Christmas 1933 presentation cigarette case
These objects have been consigned to Manion’s Auction by Captain Hill’s son, and are presented in their original condition.
Several items will be on display during the 2007 Ohio Military Valley Show of Shows International Militaria Event to be held February 22-25 at the Kentucky Exposition Center, in Louisville.
