While researching the German calligrapher Conrad Scherzer, and a book which he illustrated in the late 1930s, I ran across a website selling Nazi era objects and ephemera. While scanning the listings looking for the item the search had flagged, I ran across what would probably prove to be a rare bit of printed ephemera. If it were genuine.

The item is purported to be Heinrich Himmler's calling card, and as the description describes,

"It was found in Himmler's apartment by a US Soldier, and brought back home. then he forgot about it. After he died, his widow found them, and the Hitler cards, and sold them to the guy I bought them from. These cards are larger than US business cards - approx. 6.3 cm x 10.5 cm."

Intrigued by what typeface the card might be set in (some Antiqua by Koch, Tiemann, Renner, Erbar, et al.) I clicked the thumbnail to see an enlargement.

As you can see, it's MF Benton's "Wedding Text".

Seriously. The amazing typographic (and historic) naiveté. Not even using the alternate, less Anglicized H either.
And then there's that SS. . .

I should note that I found nothing on-line on Scherzer in English. Gerry Cinamon's very comprehensive site makes no mention.
