Original German WWII Winterhilfswerk (WHW) Beer Token Tinnies (Lot of 5)A "tinnie" is a small, inexpensive badge or pin produced in large quantities by the NSDAP (1933-1945) to commemorate a wide variety of events, rallies, and fundraising efforts. Despite the name "tinnie," they were made from various materials including metal (aluminum, tin), plastic, glass, wood, or even pressed leather. There are estimated to be over 8,000 different designs of WHW items, ranging from regional crests to fairy tale characters.
The central token is a "Gut für ein Glas Bier" (Good for a glass of beer) token. The other 4 tokens read "Gut für 1 Glas Bier" (Good for 1 Glass of Beer). These were often produced in materials like aluminum or zinc and were given to donors during street collections. While the text indicates it was "good for" a drink, in the context of the WHW, these were primarily tokens at charity events.
These tinnies can all be hung from a string or cord.
There is some oxidation throughout and they do show age. Otherwise still in decent condition. Sold as a lot.
