Items for trade on display in a shop window in Luneburg

Items for trade on display in a shop window in Luneburg, Germany after the Second World War.
After the war there was a scarcity of vital necessities such as food, clothing and every day commodities such as appliances and household utensils. As none of these were being manufactured the only option left to Germans to acquire these things was through a trade barter.
In all the big German towns and cities, the Barter Emporium sprung up.
An item would be displayed with a ticket stating the cost (pre war value) and what the owner would accept in exchange.
