Down the Cellar #6 - Good, Bad, Terrible

- Опубликовано: 8 авг 2021
- We've got a real mixed bag Down the Cellar today. If there's one thing we've learned over the years, it is that you are just as likely (and if you prefer more likely) to get trash as treasure in these boxes.
Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to watch this new series (and the funnier trolls); Tom really loves doing these!
If you have a question, comment, complaint, or criticism, or would like to share (or sell) your collection, please feel free to write Tom at:

I’m new to your videos but have been collecting for 50 years. It all started with my grandfather who was a Major in the Luftwaffe gave me his medals when I was a kid. I’ve been hooked ever since!
Keep up the good work and keep them coming!
I love these videos. The unwrapping is part of the fun, like Christmas morning. That HJ knife was incredible. Keep up these cellar videos sir. They are awesome and give a very in person feel to the whole process. Thank you
Thank you very much, Mr. Burrows.
“This guy sent me his whole laundry” made me choke on my Cabernet. Cheers Tom!
It makes me happy to see all these old Militaria from years pass my father also brought everything but kitchen sink from the war.
And THANK YOU for the Postal dagger comparison! The difference is detail is staggering.
The most fun part of these videos is watching Herr Wittmann wrestling with all the packing peanuts, bubble wrap, and socks! LOL!
Cigars, a good drink and collecting militaria..... What a fantastic life!!!
"They even look like they were washed!" Don't tell me you've gotten daggers in stinky socks, haha!
Was waiting for Tom to ring that bell rope at the end of the video! LoL!
Drinking in the cellar. Sounds like Beach Haven in the early 60s. ;-)
That double Ink Well , Outstanding ! 😀👍
well Tom, i really enjoyed this video. dont worry about how long they are, because people who love this stuff dont care. i could watch all night. great items and some not so but you give us a great education and thats priceless. thank you so much for doing these unboxings and please dont stop. we love it course i do. thanks tom
Mr Wittmann, Always slide the blade away from you when opening a box👍 Keep doing what you do, your the best. Greetings from England, Ross.
Just rediscovered your unpacking videos after a long absence, so happy, I have loads to watch, thank you!!!
Awesome video.Fantastic atmosphere(🥃⚔️🚭) Thanks a Lot!
You are amazing, kind regards.
I can only speak for myself but I really enjoy watching your videos. Long, short it doesn't matter. Of course I prefer the long videos only because we get to see more items. Don't worry about how long it takes to unwrap the items either. Nobody is timing you and most of the time while you are unwrapping you are giving valuable advice or interesting information. Things that you might not have to give much thought to I find very interesting when you discuss how you came to your evaluation so quickly. You can't fake years of experience and you sir have that. You have definitely got a subscriber here for as long as you make videos for. Thank you for taking the time to make them and sharing your knowledge with us. I could just follow you around and listen all day to you discussing military items.
LOVE love these new videos ... you're a master at your craft and to me this is just like a Museum Curator opening long lost ancient treasures. Please continue this series!
Thank you for sharing your insights Tom. Always a pleasure to learn something new from you 🇨🇦
Well Tom I'm 70 but I'm still kicking it hard and I would love nothing better than to grab a dark Navy rum & coke and kick it with you in the cellar opening 'Christmas presents' .
You really know how to enjoy life and I love that.
Some real beauties today! (a few duds)
As always, very interesting. We enjoy these videos very much. Thank you for showing us. Have a great day!
the old discolored, weathered, cracked look is beautiful, thank you!
Another great job by HerrWittmann ! I don’t believe I’d ever buy from anyone else !!
The panther head sword towards the end of the video with the artillery caisson etched no maker blade is a Richard Herder product. See Angola page 86 top left. The S.D. Marking on the SS NCO sword may stand for Schutzpolizei Düsseldorf and then there is that Ivory grip on that second model Luftwaffe dagger with etched blade! Just beautiful 🤩
The video reminds me of my favorite Clint Eastwood movie, The Good (Luftwaffe dagger with ivory grip, Herder
Panther head with engraved blade) The Bad and The Ugly.
Hallo mr.wittmann you save my day,after a hard workingday.these HJ knife is wunderbar..god Bless you Sir.gruss aus Düsseldorf
Danke sehr!
Amazing this "Down the cellar" youtube series! I can't wait for the next one!
Another great hour of fun Tom..adore the AH ink Wells. ...amazing. I have had most of silver in the past but thats a first...
When opening up boxes it is good to have a tumbler of "Old Thunder" bourbon at hand.
I really appreciate all the knowledge you have! I do not have a collection but I learn something new every video, maybe one day I'll be able to start a collection
I find real value in your analyses of the fakes. Thank you.
Thanks mr Whitman nice to see you again.
Kevin
Watching Tom open the boxes is just as great as seeing what’s inside the boxes ahaha love the videos!
My gawd these are enjoyable to watch, Thanks for the info! Makes me want to have a drink and look at more buying with this lol
... great video Tom!
Excelente video señor Wittmann, como siempre, se aprende mucho!!!
Hi Tom, I am enjoying watching your #6 "Tales from the Dagger Crypt." 👍😎 I have to say, as you sipped your libation and fired up your DiNobli I had a sudden image of Reginald van Gleason III: "Mmmmm, how sweet it is!" 😁 Keep up the fire. Best, Ken
It's not a proper comment section without Mr. Rouse.
Another great video! I look forward to the next.
Dam love spending X-mas with Tom..Thanks Tom God Bless
Thanks Tom...these videos are also a heads up of whats coming for sale on your website!!
Another great unwrapping video. It's very educational to put a fake dagger next to real one and compare the two, such as you did with the postal daggers.
Hopefully we'll be able to do more side by side comparisons. I think maybe a split screen situation would be best, although it may take some doing to get them to shoot the pieces correctly.
Yet again a great lesson in learning about this great hobby,
Thank you,
Best wishes from Austria, Salzburg,
Danke schön, ASH!
Awesome videos keep them coming love watching and learning! 🥃⚔️🚬
Thanks for this wonderfull video again! Funny with the towels haha. Nice you showed the replica postal vs the original! These things are very helpfull for us. When i see you have a video uploaded i also start early haha 😂🥃
I fire up a Churchill and pour a scotch every time I watch your video, good stuff as alway.👍🏻
Thank you very much, Mr. Berry. Cheers.
Love the video! Greetings from Belgium
Great videos Tom! Keep up the good work!
And greetings from the Netherlands!
Veel dank!
Whittman time Prost !!!
AH Ink wells are awesome
Love these unboxing videos...keep them coming.
great video!!! keep them coming thank you
Another brilliant in the cellar unboxing, your definitely not wasting any ones time, we love it,that A H inkwell blew me away ,
Great video tom thanks for sharing 🤘🏼🏴👍
Thank you again Tom 😀
Keep up the great work Tom!!
Great video as always! Gotta have that cigar in the shot. Been eying the swords available on your site. Gotta narrow down my choices and pick one.
If we could smoke in the office it would look like a low budget Mad Men spinoff.
@@WittmannAntiqueMilitaria hahahahaha
nice love the unboxing its like opening x-mass presents
Another great video sir ! I love these long videos . i look forward to the next one . i was curious if you would share whats the drink ?? Thank you very much for taking the time making these videos .
Good evening Sir ,another great video thank you for taking the time to share your finds. The H Y knife is a BELTER, you said it may not have been issued,if so so would it be OK to look for paper bag and issue tag to go with said item.as long as the date of issue is relevant,wow just wow it must be like Christmas every day when postie delivers,love and peace always Carl FISHBURN Co Durham .
Thank you! great Video as usual! like the Trommler sign in the back:)
Yes, they had very good posters with eye-catching design.
I love your videos keep them up. Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪 Hope there is Irish Whiskey in that glass 🥃🥃🥃
Some great finds!
This is not good for me. I stopped smoking 16 months ago and I thought I was done with it. Mr Wittman lights up that cigar and my legs go jelly. With all that goodies and that glass of honey..
I feel your pain. I've been trying to quite smoking for a decade, but it is almost impossible when 75% of the office smoke like chimneys.
Round 6 record, Whittman vs boxes/bubble wrap. Wouldn't it be cool to find a photo with that fantastic ink well and the Fuhrer together!!! It would double in value.
Das ist wunderbar 👌👀
Mr. (Herr) Whittmann. Very nice video again. I saw a couple things (details about construction etc.) that will help me out, and there was a good amount of pure entertainment value too. Certainly you will be able to put some 'freshies' in your sock drawer as a bonus for your laborious unpacking. Thanks.
Sometimes the packing materials are better than the items in the box!
@@WittmannAntiqueMilitaria i want those socks 😛
Love your videos.
Love these videos, I'm like a school kid🤣
52:41 That's no eagle, that's a vulture on that blade :)
getting fortified is half of the fun!
For Tom it is increasingly most of the fun!
Awesome video Sir again . :-) Take care
AH ink well, Alfred Hitchcock had good taste.
How are these things gotten? Do people send him things to sell for them? Does he buy comparatively low and then turns them around for higher? Does he buy a mystery lot then opens them? Can't imagine people simply sending him items without something in return. Love your videos. Reminds me of my days with dad at the shows.
Almost everything in this video was sent in to possibly be consigned. We often don't know what people are sending until it shows up.
@@WittmannAntiqueMilitaria Cool, thanks. Just curious.
Getting ready to send my etched bayonet and Steiner bino's up to you!
Great one again👌🏻
Thank you very much, Mr. Klug.
gd stuff tom
Another good video. Just out of curiosity what is Mr Wittman drinking?. What’s his poison lol
Very informative agian Tom. Love the ss swords Bravo wwg1wga love from the United kingdom.
Super Video, danke

Tom is the man, a true gem and asset to the collecting community. Thank you to you and your crew for doing these videos!
Thank you very much, Mr. Bandow.
Hyvää Joulua ryöstäjät
Another great unpacking video Tom.👍🏼 Can someone with your expertise authenticate the silver AH ink wells and write a COA, as well as put a solid $ value on it? What’s the value on the mint HJ knife? I would love to buy one like that.
While he is definitely an educated enthusiast, Tom is the first to admit that he is no expert on period silverware. Those sorts if things have to be vetted independently.
As for the values, I try not to discuss them here. Consignors and collectors often have WILDLY different ideas as to why things are worth, and I don't like fights breaking out.
Thanks for your many comments, XT!
Ja sit valittaa muovia 🤣🤣
Nice video
Thank you, Michael. I'm always happy to see your comments.
@@WittmannAntiqueMilitaria yes because I know a few things about the German army and the collecting of it
keep them coming
No comment section is truly complete without Herr Schmidt.
Thank You
i must admit the fake dosent look miles away
Don't cut yourself !!
Keep ‘e-mail coming!
What I originally typed was “Keep them coming” but my I pad spell check decided to change “them” to e-mail! 🙄
Cool👍
You regularly get as many views as you have subs which tells me only a small fraction of your viewers are subscribed
That's perfectly fine. There is nothing I like less than begging for subscribers.
Mr. Wittmann what whisky do you drink?
He has all kinds of great whiskey upstairs, but insists on drinking Imperial in these videos. This brand has been described as, “A cheap, rotgut, bottom shelf booze that drunks love.”
@@WittmannAntiqueMilitaria Lol! I figured he drank Crown XR or something like that! Really enjoy these videos!
Imagine being the poor guy with the fake SS armband and 100 assault badge! Being told on camera your stuff is bad. Probably spend hundreds back in the day on his hard earned money. He has my sympathy! There should be a rule to burn all fake material when found and exile all dishonest merchants to Siberia!
I cringed when that 100 badge came out.
Привет из России мой сын очень любит ваши видио и желает Вам успехов👍👍👍👍👍
❤👍❤👌❤
who's the memelord?

What kind of cigars do you smoke?
Di nobili
Thank you, thilgu

🙋🏻♂️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻
Is that shrigma i see in the background on the top right
He's a fun guy.
Wittmans a legend 3 jack daniels and coke and he can still spot a fake a mile off .you cant beat experience what a top guy
