alymcleod Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Just dug this out from storage. dad brought it back from Hamburg about 1949. Most likely made up from gerry aeroplanes, smelted down, cast and tastefully machined into a Jeep ! Love the sticker inside "Made in Germany - U.S. Zone".

jmehner Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Interestingly enough, the Jeep seems to be a cigarette tin, while the trailer serves as an ashtray - the diagonal hollows would serve as rests for the burning cigarettes. Amazing what was made in post war Germany (and Japan) to cater to the occupation forces. Cheers, Jens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
