Description

Recovered from the Hindenburg wreckage

Metal fork recovered from the Hindenburg wreckage in Lakehurst, New Jersey, measuring 7″ long, engraved on the end of the handle with the logo of the Deutsche Zeppelin Reederei (German Zeppelin Transport Company), and its initials, "DZR." The stem of the fork is stamped "Bruckmann 100," and the reverse bears an affixed collector's identification label. In very good condition, with expected wear. The spectacular newsreel coverage of the Hindenburg disaster on May 6, 1937, made it one of the major stories of the twentieth century, and relics from the wreckage are highly sought after.
