Description

Mercedes
"Affalterbach"
Wine Picnic Basket fo
r (2) Two!
This is a "New" listing and this is No. 1 of probably 5.
Note: This is
THE
special gift for "That" Mercedes Fan of yours, really it is!!! We are running out of Mercedes 18 carat gold plates so please
consider this basket and I'm guessing 5 more baskets and that's it, we still have many dessert cups and saucers but not many plates.
Mercedes
Affalterbach (most Mercedes Fans know what is produced in this town, AMG)
Wine Basket: Note the contents of this one
differs in many ways
as each is a
"one-off"
basket. Remember too, that the silverware a
nd porcelain
are
ALL original
from the
Mercedes VIP Guest Restaurant,
downtown Stuttgart, Made in Germany!
Further, we were the
only
importer of these porcelain and silverware items. These are antique items
in service
at the VIP Guest Dining Room Stuttgart, Germany some over 60 years ago! Not New! Daimler History is in these and there will soon be no more.
Each picnic basket is made
up especially for the customer and is therefore very unique so
if you have a special wish for your Mercedes
"Fan"
friend, Collector, Club Member's Birthday, Christmas
,
etc., let us
know and we'll create something very unique for you.
The brass name plate will be mounted as shown in picture unless you prefer it attached some other place.
