These pendants were part of an ornament set that was put out by the WHW. It consisted of the great men of Germany.

Interesting William, I would have written that off as a fantasy piece.
William is correct, part of the Winterhilfswerk (Winter relief) series of glass portraits. They were one of the first large 20 plus piece RSS sets. It was sold on the 1st & 2nd of March 1941 during the RSS event. Some of the other heads are in different coloured glass.

We sell these for $15-$20.00 depending on condition.
An additional side note...these are the only pieces in this set that are exclusively found in clear glass. There are some reproductions floating around that are in multi colors.

Well now that all depends on your reference source...
We catalog them as 41-23 through 41-42...with Hitler being # 41-30.
Book I make reference to is by Holger Rosenberg, printed in Germany 1983 "Spendenbelege Des Winterhilfswerks(WHW) und Kriegswinterhilfswerkes(KWHW) 1033 - 1945 - So far its been a great reference
