Original Item: Only One available. Silver, flatware and serving pieces that were specifically made for the residences of Adolf H were highly sought after by USGIs as bring back trophies. Many items were recovered at The Berghof and the Eagle’s Nest at Obersalzberg near Berchtesgaden. This platter is in fact one of the the rare and the most desirable of all AH's silver items. Every U.S. soldier wanted to bring home something of note. AH silver was a choice item. Unlike silver eating utensils that had many in a set, large serving pieces like this example numbered much fewer (and ere harder to transport). Many U.S. soldiers who where lucky enough to get a hold of AH's silver opted for the less cumbersome eating utensils. Many times only officers or soldiers with access to motor vehicles carried big pieces home.

This is a lovely example of a circular silver warming plate from Adolf H's personal silver service. It measures 29cm (11.4in.) in diameter, and at the top is an art deco Reichsadler Political eagle with slightly spread wings, clutching a wreathed "static" swas (hook cross). There are the correct A H initials flanking the wreath. The bottom is stamped with the maker's name Wellner over 39, with the tray's serial number 146931 stamped on the bottom edge.

The warming tray weighs approximately 1 kilograms (2.2 lbs) and is in fine condition, free of dents, significant scratching or abrasion. The silver has not been recently cleaned and a pleasing degree of tarnish and patina. As this is a warming tray, the bottom portion of it was not plated, and shows the "German Silver" base material.

These are very rare, and this is the first example that we have ever had! Ready to add to your collection and display!
