German souvenir shell

German Andenkenmuschel ; souvenir shell with text :

" Erinnerung an den Weltkrieg 1914-15 , F. Mittermeier ,

Minenprahm II " , 9.5 cm

 

 

' memento of the World War 1914-15 , F. Mittermeier , mine barge 2 '

 

 

I have not found specific info on this mine barge/lighter yet except that its home port was Wilhelmshaven and it did duty on the North Sea.

 

 

there is another Andenkenmuschel made by or for

B. Griepenburg, also from Minenprahm II, on the site Europeana 1914-1918 :
