Stickpins

[alfonso]

Hello.
I have these "plastic" stickpins. Its all have needles and marks.
I think that all are originals, but what you think from this picture.
Please yours opinions.

Hi Alfonso, these all look fine to me. As you know these were sold as fund raising items for the Nazi "WHW" (Winter Hilfs Werk) charity.

Here is a rare card display board for them, which I photographed in a museum in Austria.

Cheers, Ade.

Friendley, Aleksandar

And I want to tell that on black flag sign "pionire", green flag sign "Schnutzen und kraftschnutzen" etc...

[alfonso]

And are there any possibylites that these porcelain figurines are for WHW???
Their high is from 4 to 6 centimetres. There is not any marks on.

Hi Aleksandar, am not not sure about these?

My "gut feeling" is that they are more likely to be from the 1960's, but I am not 100% sure. See what other forum members think.

Cheers, Ade.

[alfonso]

They are fine. We think of plastic today as cheap and nasty, but in the 1930's & 40's it was considered modern and also fashionable.

Cheers, Ade.
