pierssc Posted 14 October , 2022 Share Posted 14 October , 2022 I saw your other post and still can't make out what the marking on top is. Can't even read the verse on this version of the photo. I would have thought it was just a particularly poorly conceived attempt by someone to cash in on a market of those wishing to demonstrate anti-German sentiment based on the alleged liking of that nation for sausages, combined with allusions to burst pride. Burst pride = burst sausage. Brilliant. But take away the jingoistic verse on the card and what do you have left? No context, just a tiny phallus. Or a slug. Who other than Baldrick would want to sport that for goodness sake? Or give it to their girlfriend? Especially if she found out it only cost ninepence! Definitely a Wurst case scenario!

arantxa Posted 14 October , 2022 Author Share Posted 14 October , 2022 Very good apt reply Thank you it says at the top Burst Sausage War Charm and the rhyme at the bottom doesn’t rhyme ! The sausage was a proud one The outside full of swank and bluster But it won’t be the allies fault If they don’t smash and Dust eh I will take a better picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tootrock Posted 14 October , 2022 Share Posted 14 October , 2022 Should the last line be "If they don't smash and Bust 'er"? Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevenbecker Posted 14 October , 2022 Share Posted 14 October , 2022 Mate, Of course that's where the term "Banger" came from, due to the over leaden sausage with fat instead of meat. But its got me beat what 's going on here? S.B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pierssc Posted 14 October , 2022 Share Posted 14 October , 2022 So the emblem is sort of in the German WW1 era colours, but in the wrong order. It's quite bizarre. No wonder it didn't sell! Anyway, I'd say it was definitely WW1. A curiosity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
