here is an interesting article link.   https://nypost.com/2015/06/27/meet-the-man-who-owns-the-worlds-largest-nazi-collection/   But the gist of it is that Third Rich collector Kevin Wheatcroft crawled down into the ruins of the Berghof bowling alley in 1989 and this is what he reported:   “They were Hitler’s (Wheatcroft is referencing some wine racks),” he said, laying a proprietary hand upon the nearest one. “We pulled them out of the ruins of the Berghof [Hitler’s home in Berchtesgaden] in May 1989. The whole place was dynamited in ’52, but my friend Adrian and I climbed through the ruins of the garage and down through air vents to get in. You can still walk through all of the underground levels. We made our way by torchlight through laundry rooms, central heating service areas. Then a bowling alley with big signs for Coke all over it. Hitler loved to drink Coke. We brought back these wine racks.”  

hello, I will caveat that I know almost nothing about asbestos products.  I went ahead and asked AI about asbestos labels.  That answer basically was that yes, they were made.  But those labels seem to have been reserved for high heat industrial items, i.e. welding aprons, furnace related items, etc.  Regular household items usually did not have an asbestos label.   I understand the concern here.  Maybe someone else with more experience on labels will chime in.... cheers!

That is a Swedish army winter cap m/1950. It was most likely used with the m/ 39 uniform as an alternative to the winter cap m/ 43. The m/ 39 uniform was later replaced by the m/ 59 (summer) and the m/ 58 (winter) uniforms. That included the winter cap m/ 59. So this was probably made sometime between 1950 and 1959.   The stamp says 56 (or something) which is the size and Ö.S.B. which is the manufacturer. It stands for Örebro Sport & Bil (Örebro Sports and Car). Over that is the three crowns, which is the Swedish small national emblem.
