SS Familien Chronik ( Family Chronicle ) # 1020
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.(SS Familien Chronik ( Family Chronicle ) )
