~ Das rote Kreuz auf weißem Grund ~ | |
This glass beaker is named to a medic who served in the German army and the "red cross" is an international symbol for medical help. This beaker would have been purchased as a memento at the end of the service time, ca. 1900. | |
Das rote Kreuz auf weißem Grund, ist hilfsbereit zu jeder Stund. Errinenerung an meine Dienstzeit. |
The red cross on the white field is ready to help in any hour. Remembrance of my service time. |
