Antique Bow Rosin old Empty Box German Heinrich Zwiener Vintage Violin 1930s For Sale

A rather rare empty box from rosin set for bowed string instruments (violin, viola, cello). It is used to improve the bow\'s grip on the strings, ensuring a clear sound.
The box and its accompanying instructions date back to the 1930s.
A fairly rare item that retains the aesthetic of that era.
The inscriptions are in German:• \"QUALITÄTS-KOLOPHONIUM\" (at the top of the circle) — translates to \"Quality Rosin\" (*Kolophonium* is the international historical term for rosin, derived from the ancient Greek city of Colophon).• \"KONSERVATORIUM\" (at the bottom of the circle) — translates to \"Conservatory.\" This indicates a grade or series of rosin intended for professional musicians, conservatory students, and advanced players.• Central design: The embossed image depicts the silhouette of a violinist holding a bow against a forest backdrop (coniferous trees), symbolizing the rosin\'s natural origin from pine resin.
At the very center of the logo, directly above the violinist\'s head, is a round stamp bearing the letters \"H. Z.\" (or \"Z. H.\"); this is the trademark of the German manufacturer \"Heinrich Zwiener.\"• Brand history: The company was based in Germany and specialized throughout the 20th century in the production of high-quality accessories for string instruments (primarily rosin, strings, and wood care products).• Production period: Judging by the cardboard texture, the distinctive gold-foil embossing, and the pattern on the sides (mimicking crocodile or snakeskin), this box was manufactured in the 1930s.
