Down the Cellar 11 - MAXimum Unboxing

[@Spencer859]

I know you're a extremely busy man and dont have to do these videos , I'm sure I'm speaking for most of your viewers when I say thank you for the videos and the knowledge that you pass along.

1:04:45 when my late friend TF Knight who was an advanced collector got German army general Waldemar Erfurth's tunic, it was inside a garbage bag. Still had the medal bars and German Cross in Silver. The tunic was tailor made in Finland. I believe my friend traded either a Babe Ruth baseball or Dizzy Dean baseball contract for the tunic.

Excellent items as always Mr Wittman. Love watching the official cigar light and the first sip

[@xkmendlt4290]

Great variety of items in this vid. Another wonderful history lesson from Mr. W. 😎 The advertising signs from the dagger manufacturers are to cool.The dagger with the engraving of the locations the veteran that brought it home had been is priceless…

[@kennethrouse7942]

Hi Tom, Thanks yet again for allowing us to get MAXimum enjoyment from your show acquisitions. And how nice that they dedicated it to Tom. I really enjoyed the miniature RAD hewer and also the wood carvings; both the accordion player and the Imperial eagle. The Korps must have thought quite a lot of their top-kick to commission (or at least present) a carving of that size and quality for him. Although I HAVE heard that the difference between an onion and an accordion is that nobody cries when you cut the accordion in half.. 😁 (no offense to the accordion fans out there). And the eagle.. THAT'S an attention getter! 👍😎

Perks of a job well done Tom! Thank you sir, always a pleasure to see you! The Wellner mirror is amazing!

[@tomstreet5266]

Tom, I really liked this one. I liked that Rob was involved with questions and comments. It's never to long but always really interesting. I would love to see a "unboxing"with a guest collector.

[@johnmakin4337]

I could probably write a book. With all the war stories my father told me. He was with Patton’s third infantry he drove a half track and boy did he have fun after the war in Germany

[@connorfulkerson127]

Amazing haul. Hope to get back to the SOS next February

[@mikeschultz8509]

Love the trash bag clothes. Classy. Funny the flag you bought has Hamburg coat of arms, where my mother was from. The etched bayonet marked Luneburg, where my father came from. Nice video with interesting piece. 👍

[@terryschmidt8259]

[@Spencer859]

You worry about boring us or taking to long...I wish these videos we minimum of two hours...you're just a wealth of knowledge on so many different things.

[@dunkirchen1940]

That government official's uniform is absolutely mind blowing. Totally mint and has my eyes bulging out of my head!

[@drobinbarker]

Terrific videos Tom!! You and your son are a great team!! Tom, as I viewed the very large uniform from the plastic bags, I immediately thought about a very tall German ‘official’ depicted in numerous photos at apparent receptions in the Chancellery with Hitler present. It would be fantastic to link this to that individual after research, etc. Cheers Tom!

[@anthonyclaus2843]

luv the carved wooden eagle

[@dennisrountree5376]

Warum ist der SA Dolch in englisch beschriftet?? 🤔 schöne Sachen dabei! Wünschte ich hätte so einiges davon! 🙄

[@rjb6327]

Always bothers me, when you handle items with fabric, and that cigar is in your hand. I keep waiting for a spark of tobacco to singe the material. Question: Can a cleaner such as Tarnex be used on those silver items, or is it better to leave the patina on them? Question: I know Solingen Steel is a quality steel, but are all blades made with Solingen Steel?

[@WittmannAntiqueMilitaria]

Yes, the cigar can be a bit harrowing. He's not going to stop puffing away, though, so I just pretend I don't see it. I would avoid Tarnex in particular and harsh chemical cleaners in general. They are fine for modern surface silver that is not worn, but that is almost never the case with antique pieces. Even immersion in the often recommended baking soda / salt solution can cause pitting in a compromised surface, and often what looks perfect often has wear and damage not visible to the eye. You have to really evaluate the condition of each piece before you think about cleaning it, and often it is best simply to leave it as-is. As for the steel, I'll have to ask and get back to you.
