Black woolens in large clumps....more than most of us shall ever see in one spot in a life time...these from the Coleman Schatzgruft. Notice the extraordinary things in the background, as well...when one writes of viel Sammlerglueck, then this idea finds its woolen incarnation in this image...One of these textiles in the background is the tunic of an SA Hauptsturmfuehrer and Blutordenstraeger from Steyr/Oberoesterreich, a highly decorated figure of the KuK Armee, later a so-called "illegal," who likely was put in the slammer by the Austrofascists/Staendestaat people after the July 1934 Putsch against Dollfuss on the Ballhausplatz and elsewhere, Unternehmen Elementarereignis. Such remarkable items as this are quite typical of this collection, to which I have contributed in a small way.
