Title: Mullocks auction. Bust of Adolf Hitler to commemorate the opening of VW 1938 Post by: Baz54 on June 01, 2018, 00:02:25 am Hi, I receive emails from the Salesroom web site and have used it over a number of years.
I sometimes search Volkswagen just to see what comes up. To my astonishment this came up in a search today. A brass bust of A Hitler to commemorate the opening of the VW factory 26th May 1938. Obviously it has the usual KDF logos and can offend some, it's not my thing but as the description states,it's of great historical relevance. Auction is on 14th June in the UK. This is the item description.:- Brass Bust of Adolf Hitler – to commemorate the opening of the Volkswagen factory on 26 May 1938. Presented at the Laying of Volkswagen’s First Factory and numbered 1 out of 20, the busts were probably issued to high ranking Nazi officers involved with the Volkswagen company. The inscription reads ‘Laying of the foundation stone 26 May 1938 For the City of the KdF cars by our superior German Leader Adolf Hitler Honorary Citizen of Fallersleben 1938’. Height 30cm approx., weight 3.7kg, marked 1/20, marked A. B, 1938 to side, probably added at a later date, nonetheless this is a piece of great historical relevance |
