DRUCKER’S MAIL HOME Helmet
(32-2420, Not For Sale)
This German M-16 Stahlhelm was “souvenired” by Sgt. Jerome J. Drucker. This is a prime example of how times have changed. Around 1918-1919 Sgt. Drucker painted an address label to his sister on the dome of the helmet. No box was necessary, presumably the helmet arrived. There is evidence of a label or stamps on the left side of the helmet and remnants of a label inside. Perhaps the high volume of souvenirs shipped in this fashion was the security. They were so common who would want them?
