SS Familien Chronik ( Family Chronicle ) # 958
Every one in a while I get treated to a special item, and this one came as a surprise to me.
Considered
to be one of the rarest SS publications to be had, the SS Familien
Chronik is quite a sight. Referenced as part of the Yule corner this
book would trace the hereditary lineage of the SS man and his bride back
two centuries, and is rare enough that I am not going to post any
interior photo's of it.
The book would have originally come
with two metal screws that would be removed and the tie installed to
retain the pages. The pages are a treat and include sections for the
family history of the bride and groom as well as siblings, children, and
naturally, charts.
High grade paper, specially printed SS plates, and ornate script are all part of this piece and there would appear to be some variations amongst examples that lie in collections.
I
have had opportunity to handle a lot of things over the years that most
never see, this is really the first time I have been able to examine
one of these. Its a treat, and a difficult book to come by. Its
historical significance go's without saying and there is really nothing
better than getting that smell of a 70 year old book.
