Reliable shipping
Flexible returns
This is an original World War II-era German industrial canister for Zyklon, manufactured by DEGESCH (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Schädlingsbekämpfung m.b.H.) in Frankfurt am Main. The original paper label is largely intact and features the skull and crossbones warning graphic alongside bold typography reading "GIFTGAS! ZYKLON" and "CYANGEHALT 100 g" (cyanide content). The top lid has an open, jagged cutout from historical use, and the canister is completely empty. The piece shows authentic age-related patina, oxidation on the bare metal surfaces, and minor shelf wear to the paper labels.
This used can came from the estate of a military neurosurgeon who traveled extensively in his role and accumulated a vast collection of rare militaria including Nazi items and war used relics. The can measures just over 4 1/2 inches tall. Refer to the photos for a better idea of the condition, you will receive the exact canister that is pictured.
