Beautiful antique German Catholic pocket prayer book, “Christus ist mein Leben” (“Christ Is My Life”), in its original slipcase. It comes with a collection of vintage holy cards and keepsakes, including mementos from a 1950 Holy Year pilgrimage to Rome.

This prayer book comes from the same estate as the vintage radio collection featured in this auction. Like so many pieces from this estate, it was carefully kept, along with the personal keepsakes tucked inside.

The book was published by the Katholische Verlagsanstalt J. Steinbrener. It carries the official church imprimatur from the Bishop’s Ordinariate in Budweis (Bohemia), dated 26 April 1902 and signed by Bishop Martin Josef, with the printed episcopal seal. The front matter also notes that on 25 February 1911, Pope Pius X granted Johannes and Rupert Steinbrener the title “Publisher of the Holy Apostolic See.”

The pocket-sized book is printed in traditional German Fraktur script with red page edges. It’s bound in black textured covers with a gilt cross on the front and gilt lettering on the spine, and it fits in its original slipcase.

Tucked inside are several meaningful keepsakes:

A handwritten card from a pilgrimage to Rome, inscribed in German “from my pilgrimage to Rome, from your friend,” dated 16.12.50
A photo card of Pope Pius XII (S.S. Pio XII) at the Vatican, with St. Peter’s dome in the background
An Easter Communion card from the Holy Year 1950, Herz-Jesu-Pfarre, Heeren-Werve
A colour Confirmation holy card
A “Mater Divinae Gratiae” holy card (B. Kühlen, M. Gladbach)

Grundig TK 46 stereo reel-to-reel tape recorder, offered as a complete set with its original accessories, paperwork and even the original Toronto sales receipt!

This tape recorder comes from the estate of a dedicated radio and audio hobbyist who spent over 50 years working on, servicing, and collecting vintage radios and audio equipment. He took great pride in his collection, and this set shows it. He kept every accessory, the original documents in a hand-labelled envelope (“Tape Recorder TK 46 – Original Papers”), and the original cardboard box.

What makes this set truly special is its Toronto history. It was originally purchased at Honest Ed’s, the legendary bargain store on Bloor Street, and the original handwritten Honest Ed’s receipt is included. The owner’s manual is also annotated “Bought at Honest Ed’s.” It’s a wonderful piece of Toronto retail history to go with an outstanding machine.

Built by Grundig Werke in Fürth, Bavaria, the TK 46 is a tube-based, four-track stereo reel-to-reel recorder from Grundig’s golden era. At the time, Grundig described itself as Europe’s largest radio maker and the world’s largest tape recorder factory. Housed in a stylish two-tone portable case with built-in speakers, it shows the engineering and design that made West German audio equipment so highly regarded.

This is a must-have for reel-to-reel enthusiasts, Grundig collectors and anyone who loves Toronto history.
