Picked this up today...anybody ever see one like it??
The instructions are in German, writing on the box is all German. The feet are rusted stuck, but I can free them up. There's still a paper tag attached to the flag...may have never been used (??).

A whopping $2.99 + tax. And I'm leaving the tag, Everett...don't want to end up in a German prison

Thank you , that was a very good deal you got there.
I had a few of those and sold them for $20 to $50 depending on the condition , I pick them up from a Unimog parts dealer here in California that was moving back to Germany. |

I found one today at the Goodwill store. I saw the triangle all set up and sitting there like someone had assembled it, and I noticed the European appearance of the design and wondered if it was VW related. Then I found the two halves of the case and tried reading the words and decided to take it because it was German.  4.99 for it and it looks minty!

Most German made cars (Mercedes/Audi/BMW) come with an emergency road side kit. These WEGU safety triangles are part of that kit. Besides the road side kit, German cars will also have a tool kit & first aid kit as well.
I've heard that unlike here in the States where passerbys can just drive past an accident, in Europe motorists must stop and assist

In Germany you are required to have one of these in your car along with a first aid kit or you get a pretty nasty ticket
