Can anyone ID this ? Measures 12.75" x 1.25" & , I assume , some sort of German flare or similar . Thanks!
 
Just bumping this thread again as I'm sure somebody will recognise it . One of the printed marks at the start of the label is "Rauchne" .Thanks.
 
Not my field but the nearest I can find on Google translate is "Smoking" so maybe a smoke candle of some sort ? I'm sure one of our German speaking members can elaborate on this. There are similar items to this in D. Mitev's book, Vol 2, and all are smoke producing.
 
Es handelt sich um das Leuchtzeichen gelb mit der Ln-Nummer 24647.
