Ruth Shadar has another interesting item to share with our members. Can you guess what it is?
Ruth thinks it is from some time between the world wars, but has no accurate date. Her Grandmother, Grete Haas (Silberstern) was the original owner of the kit. Grete was born in Vienna, Austria in 1897 and fled to Shanghai, China in the 30s – so its date should be some time between those dates.
The kit traveled with her from Vienna to Shanghai, and later to Israel. Ruth received it from Grete when she went into her army service at the age of 18 (She is now 64.) Ruth actually used it during the service, and later when she traveled (before hotels supplied their own kits).
