Original Items: Only one set available. Acquired directly from a veterans family at a recent military show. This is a great set of German WWII era Tinnies and other collectibles, acquired when the soldier was overseas in Germany. There are 30 in this set, though some are broken and missing pieces, which have fallen off over the years. Please see photos for finer details.
“Tinnies” (Veranstaltungsabzeichen – Event Badge) are small commemorative pins or medals, acquired when one attended a specific event held in Germany. They were often made of thin stamped metal, bakelite, or even pressed paper. Many of these were given out as part of the WHW (Winterhilfswerk – Winter Help Work) Organization, which often involved Germans traveling quite a bit to help out the war effort.
The other collectibles are pins, small wreathes, and a lot of clay town emblems. This set is FULL of research potential, and is just great. Ready to display!
