1935 Reich party rally of the NSDAP in Nuremberg, The Nuremberg funnel
Lot 308
Depicted is the Nurnberger Trichter (“Nurnberg funnel”) with a view of the Old City in the background. The origin of the funnel as a folklore symbol is obscure. Other postcards have shown the funnel being used to pour a potion into a young man, with the text: “Der Nurnberger Trichter: Sicher and schnel —Macht er die Kopfe hell!” This translates: The Nurnberg funnel: Surely and quickly—it makes heads bright!” In addition, the figurines on some Nurnberg beer steins show a jester using a funnel to pour something into a fool’s head.

View card published by Anton Hilbert Kunstverlag of Nurnberg franked with Sc 465 and mailed 14 September 1935 at 7:30 P.M. from Postamt Nurnberg 2. The official publicity slogan cancellation is of the two star, “flatfoot two” variety. More significantly, the card bears the annahmestempel (acceptance cachet) used on the postal coach on the Gau Sachsen march from Hof to Nurnberg, 4-10'h September 1935.
