I sold these a couple of years ago. They are rare and unique original binders of KdF Tooling Standards with dates ranging 1936 to 1945 from the Volkswagenwerk Central Standards Office and were discovered approximately 300 km from the Wolfsburg factory.
Clearly esoteric and rare to the extreme, this collection might be the only one in existence or at least the only set privately owned as there could be another remaining long forgotten and inaccessible in the bowels of the Volkswagenwerk from its years of manufacturing the KdF-Wagen, Kübelwagen and Schwimmwagen.
These documents are NOT reproductions, nor are they the original hand drawn documents, but rather original internal duplicates printed on a Spirit Duplicator or early Mimeograph Machine for reference at various stations throughout the Volkswagenwerk.
Dates on these KdF specification documents ranged from 1936, just one year after Porsche produced the Volkswagen V3 prototype, to 1945 when much of the Volkswagenwerk would soon lay in ruin. |
