SOAP- For the German collector who has almost "EVERYTHING", WWI GERMAN ARMY ISSUE SOAP: ...(A) Brown cakes, about 4" X 2-1/4" X 1", with maker mark of "Kernseife(crown soap)/ 200 gr/ frischgew.(fresh weight)" on one side in nice German script, and a beautiful German crown on the other(as on the German button). A rare find to complete the German "kit". Hard to believe this survived all these years. GOOD-VG, each soldier probably carried one in his soap dish (3); ...(C) Small block white soap marked "Meichelbeck's Universal- putz-Seife"{2}. CHOICE - stock is getting low, we can get no more.
