This is an attractive - and with certainty not that often- ie. most certainly scarcely encountered! - silverish-bronze-coloured so-called: D.D.A.C.-related commemorative, plaque (ie. 'Erinnerungs- o. nichttragbare Kraftfahrzeugplakette' or: car-plaque) showing a very detailed and pronounced illustration of a driver (in neat 'Art Deco'-style!) wearing a helmet and that is coupled with the text: 'Wagen-Ortsgruppe Hamburg e.V. - Findigkeitsprüfung - 6. Nov. 1938' and that comes as stored for decades and that comes in an overall very nicely preserved- (and totally undamaged-), condition. The neat somewhat oval-shaped piece measures approximately 8 x 7 cms. and has truly pronounced detail and was never cleaned nor polished: it has maintained a neat and somewhat 'darkened' age-patina (but also shows some minimal tarnish and usage-marks as can be seen on the pictures). The piece is totally void of a makers'-designation (as can be seen on the pictures). The piece came as issued and/or stored for decades but was clearly used (ie. I deem once vehicle-attached) as can be seen on the pictures. These attractive (I deem) semi-official D.D.A.C.-related presentation-pieces were most likely used as some sort of awards and were (presumably) handed-out during a specific D.D.A.C.-related-rally (named the: 'Wagen-Ortsgruppe Hamburg e.V. - Findigkeitsprüfung' as was held in Hamburg in the year 1934). This particular example originates from a long-year collection of various such decorative prices and car-plaques I recently acquired for the web-site. Simply a very attractive - and with certainty very unusually encountered! - presentation-piece ie. 'Erinnerungs- o. nichttragbare Kraftfahrzeug-Plakette' that might merit some further investigative work!
