Original German WWII USGI Bring Back Tinnie Event Badge and Stickpin Grouping - 16 Items
-
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 ten tinnies in this set, including a 1934 TAG DER ARBEIT Labor Day tinnie, a 1936 1.MAI May Day tinnie, a 1938 REICHSPARTEITAG Nuremberg Ralley tinnie, and others that that we do not recognize.
The six stickpins are all ones that we recognize, and include TWO DAF German Labor Front stickpins, an NSBO Factory Cell stick pin, a pre-wwii Kyffhäuserbund Veteran's association stickpin, a DLRG German lifesaving organization stick pin, and a Reichstreubund organization of civil servants stickpin.
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.
