| Comments |
The Reichsstelle für Glas, Keramik und Holzverarbeitung was a Nazi-era trade supervisory office overseeing glass, ceramics, and wood processing industries — not a bank, not a currency authority. These tiny paper slips were internal industrial vouchers or allocation tokens, issued in the chaotic final months of the Reich when conventional supply chains had collapsed and bureaucratic offices improvised their own exchange instruments.
"Ein Bett aus Metall" — one metal bed — points to a specific materials allocation function, likely tied to hospital or military procurement as Germany's infrastructure disintegrated in early 1945.
