Item Description
Original Items: Only One Set Available. This is a very nice collection of German WWII Tinnies, Stick Pin badges, and insignia, which was brought back from the European theater by a USGI after the war was concluded. Many solders traded these on the way back, and would end up with a pocket full of various different collectible items, and this set represents the typical "haul" one might have come back with.
This grouping contains six "May Day" tinnies, for the 1st of May / Labor day, along with some district / region rally tinnies, and other event tinnies. It also contains six stick pins badges for various awards and donations, as well as an NS-RKB e.V. cap badge and an RAD Labor Corps cap badge. Please consult the pictures for further details.
A great little set that could be the start of your collection!
"Tinnies" (Veranstaltungsabzeichen - Event Badges) 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. Many others were given for the annual Reichsparteitag (Reich Party Congress), otherwise known as the Nuremberg Rallies.
