Original German Pre-WWII Winterhilfswerk (WHW) Glass Tinnie Badges (3 pieces)
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.
This grouping includes 3 different tinnie/badges. All show various types of aging as to be expected. Sold as shown.
