Original Items: Only One Set Available. This is a very nice collection of German WWII "Tinnie" Event badges and Stickpins, 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.

There are nine tinnies in this set, including FOUR 1934 TAG DER ARBEIT Labor Day tinnies by different makers, a 1935 TAG DER ARBEIT labor day tinnie, a 1937 1.MAI May Day tinnie, a 1937 REICHSPARTEITAG Nuremberg Ralley tinnie, an Adolf H "Thanks for Service to the People" tinnie badge, and a LUFTSCHUTZ TUT NOT Air Raid Protection donation tinnie. 

The six stickpins are mostly ones that we recognize, and include an NS-RKB Veteran's Association stickpin, a KL. KALIBER small caliber shooting association stickpin, an RAD National Labor Corps stick pin, a 16 Year Service stick pin, and a War Merit Cross with Swords KVKII stick pin.

In addition to these items, there is also a small plastic ship, which may or may not be period. Please consult the pictures for further details on markings and condition.

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.
