Ohrverschluss für Trommelfellverletzte

WW2 German Ohrverschluss für Trommelfellverletzte - Complete with Wax Plugs

An exceptional and highly collectible WW2 German medical/sanitary item. This is a complete, original small metal tin containing the "Ohrverschluss für Trommelfellverletzte" (ear plugs specifically designed for soldiers with eardrum injuries). The distinctive yellow-painted lid features a crisp, dark Gothic font with the product name and complete instructions on the interior. Strikingly preserved, this piece remains fully complete with its original wooden applicator stick and all three protective wax-paper wrapped wax plugs inside. Unlike most examples found today, the wax remains remarkably supple and has not dried out over the decades. The inside lid gives precise directions on how to shape the wax sheet into a plug and insert it into the ear before using a gas mask in an emergency situation. A premier, textbook medical accessory in unmatched, pristine condition that adds significant value to any combat medic or personal gear collection.
