    Something a bit different and a recent find locally, a WHW donation tin, dated 1943 by M. Westermann & Co. - Neheim-Ruhr.



    The WHW, Winterhilfswerk (Winter-help-work), was an annual charitable donation event held by the "NS -Volkswohlfahrt" (National Socialist - Peoples’-welfare-organization), in which personnel from all of the organizations would solicit donations from the public, and reward contributors with a wide variety of lapel badges or propaganda booklets.

    The condition is excellent, red-painted, sheet metal can, roughly 17cm in overall height, and 10.5cm in diameter. Featuring a hinged lid which is stepped as it ascends, with an angled coin slot to its apex, on the surface are the raised serial numbers 39356 (serial number). To the lid, immediately above its hinge, is a small, circular perforation, with Papier (Paper) embossed to one side of it and Geld (Money) to the other. A handle is riveted to the reverse, beneath the lid’s hinge. Embossed to the can itself, Gau Bayreuth (Administrative-region Bayreuth). To its bottom is the embossed maker’s name, M. Westermann & Co, with G.m.b.H. underneath it, for Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung (Company with limited Liability), both arching above Wesco within a diamond, and with Neheim -Ruhr arching beneath that.

    Love these. Every collection should have one if possible. Yours is minty!

    Nice pick up
    "Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated

    My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

    Very nice condition. If I was only fortunate enough to find one. Not common in my area.
