German Wehrmacht Blendkörper 2H Spare Plain Washer For Inner Tube Neck.
I always have suspected this item, being a German item, should originally have two washers instead of only one. Only in a few pics of them you see the known washer at the inner tube neck sealing the joint inside the glass main body, but never saw a photo of the other washer that should be under the big bakelite cap sealing the triangular head of this inner tube against it. I just purchased a big lot of inner tubes and washers and I found two different ones:
-A both sides plain washer located at the neck of the inner tube. (This one).
-A two different sides washer, one plain and other tapered or beveled. (Item 52246).
Then I saw it clearly as day light: The inner tube used two different washers for a perfect sealing. Looking the photos you will understand better. All washers are supple and not dried, but they are 80 years old, so if you feel it is too difficult to fit it in the tube, use a hair dryer, the hot air will get the washer more easy to go in. Price is for ONE washer.

An advanced collector from USA, Jason S. has sent me a photo of his BK2H with both original washers in place, first time I see it, so he is a lucky collector. See last photo, obviously only for reference and not part of the sale.
