WW II German Aviation - AIRCRAFT FACTORY MESS HALL SPOON - SIEMENS - VERY RARE!

Description

You are bidding on a SUPERB example of a WW2 German Aircraft Factory Mess Hall Spoon!  Obtained from the Siemens Schuckert Factory, this was brought back by a US Serviceman.
Siemens Schuckert was founded in 1903 when Siemens & Halske acquired Schuckertwerke.  Subsequently, Siemens & Halske specialized in communications engineering and Siemens-Schuckert in power engineering and pneumatic instrumentation.  During World War I Siemens-Schuckert also produced aircraft.  It took over manufacturing of the renowned Protos vehicles in 1908.
Siemens-Schuckert built a number of designs in World War I and inter-war era. They also produced aircraft engines under the Siemens-Halske brand, which evolved into their major product line after the end of World War I. The company reorganized as Brandenburgische Motorenwerke, or simply Bramo, in 1936, and were later purchased in 1939 by BMW to become BMW Flugmotorenbau.
Realizing the two-row radial development was a risky proposition; Bramo engineers had also started developing axial-flow jet engines in 1938. They were awarded a development contract to continue work on two designs, which would later become the 109-002 and 109-003 when the RLM officially started supporting jet development. The -002 used an advanced contra-rotating compressor for added efficiency, while the -003 used a simpler compressor/stator system that remains in use in modern designs today. The -002 proved to be too complex and work on it soon ended, but the -003 showed definite promise and eventually became the BMW 003.
The Siemens Schuckert logo consisted of an S with a smaller S superimposed on the middle with the smaller S rotated left by 45 degrees.
Made of Aluminum, this is a FANTASTIC example!  As it is in used condition, there are some slight wear and marks due to the age, but nothing that detracts.  It is marked with the Siemens Schuckert Logo at the bottom.  Would make a FANTASTIC addition to any collection or display!

------------------- ABOUT ME -----------------
Although my passion is the Me109, I do offer many other German Aircraft (Fw190, Me262, etc.), as well as USAF and Japanese items. Occasionally I do offer many non-vintage items such as prints and art relating to the time period. As a private collector myself, I am constantly on the lookout for historical memorabilia, authentic photographs, artwork or anything unique relating to military aircraft.
