Heinrich Himmler was a known gift giver and often gave Allach figures to friends and persons within his inner circle. While many pieces consisted of standard catalog items and a known fondness for bird groups, but the most desirable are presentations specifically designed for presentation and bearing his name or signature.

The Allach Kinderfries was awarded on the birth of a fourth child and bears a design by Prof. Karner referred to as the chain of life around the circumference of the candle holder signifying an eternal family chain. Under this motif is the motto "In der Sippe ew'ger Kette bin ich nur ein Glied" (In the family of the eternal chain, I am only one link).

To the bottom of the piece is the actual Himmler presentation in black which reads "All best wishes for our people, for your family, for your parents, for you!" H. Himmler.

The design of the candle holder itself is that of SS officer and founding artist Prof. Karl Diebitsch, so the piece has been designed by two of the most noteworthy personalities involved in the Allach enterprise. Both Prof. Theodore Karner and Prof. Karl Diebitsch and is a direct presentation from Heinrich Himmler. Any one piece or item from any of these individuals is considered special, and here is one that involves all three.

The piece is offered in mint undamaged condition and while I was unable to find the recipient due to only a first name, I did try.

The piece was obtained by me from an older married couple, along with a 2nd variant that is un-named and were the property of the mans mother. The pieces were returned to the U.S after the war and were stored in a closet for the last 40 years. In my opinion an extremely important piece as presentations go and extremely rare to boot. I would imagine that many of these still remain with the recipient families in Germany and due to its being somewhat innocuous to anyone not actually knowing what it is, may even be displayed in their home.
