Deutsches Reichsbahn Serving Tray ( Alpaka ) # 965
Silver serving platter from the Deutsches Reichsbahn bearing the maker mark for Alpaka and the corresponding train hallmark.
The
piece measures 13 1/2 inches wide and 10 inches high making this a
rather large piece. The car # is 243 and that leads me to Hermann
Goering. It is a partitioned piece and was probably used as a serving
platter for several different foods or vegetables.
This is a
heavy piece and typical of the Alpaka quality. Most times with the
Reichsbahn I see the porcelain, this is probably the first time I have
had the silver in hand. I must say it is quite nice and cannot recall
seeing a piece such as this in the market..
