Don't Quite Know What It Is, But I Just Bought It...

I know it's a brass or bronze plaque and it's German and it commemorates the 300 year anniversary of something. But that's it. I figured for $6 delivered though, I'd take a chance on it. Old member ID but a new seller, 0 feedback.

How big is it?

That's a good question. I guesstimate it is at least 5-6 inches wide. based on the shoe box used as a background on this and the shot glasses that she has for sale also.

Absolutely worth the gamble, looks like it would have serious appeal to collectors of German post cards of the era, many of which were stylistically similar and go for big money if you have the right artist. Yours looks like it was done by one of the right artists... couldn't tell you who though

Looks like a poem by Johann Wolfgang Goethe.
