Of all allegedly Hitler related objects we've encountered so far this monstruosity is by the far the most insane: a "A. Hitler Glass Sculpture", to be auctioned on April 30, 2021, by RB Fine Arts, Tavares (Florida, USA),  lot 79, estimated at $12,500-$20,000, start price $100.

The description given by the auctioneer is as insane as the object itself:

"Adolf Hitler Art Glass Sculpture Mark A Hitler Austria, Mounted On Bronze RARE! Measure 10.5" x 8". This was Acquired From A 90-Year-Old Deceased WWII Vet 6 Years Ago, Currently From Mr. Bill FOut's Estate Scott City MO. Sculpture Originally Brought Back From Berchtesgaden Where Hitler Resided. Now This Is The Story That Was Told To Me By Mr. Fout Who Drove All The Way To Daytona Florida And Paid 9000.00 For it. I will Try To Gather More Info.”


Given the serial number "17591"on this thing, there must be at least 17,590 other copies been made by "A. Hitler" in Austria.

Now, none of the sources who have known Adolf Hitler in his days in the Austrian-Hungarian Empire (1889-1913) have ever mentioned anything about Hitler making glass art, let alone in these hugh numbers.


None of the collectors of Nazi related items have ever seen a monstruosity like this - so in all likelihood this thing was made quite recently, as a kind of sick nazi steam punk artefact.
