Winterhilfswerk cloth armbands.

[john moody]

Hi all,

does anyone have any information on the above?
I believe they were worn to prove that you were a bona-fide street collector for the WHW organisation.
I have been reliably informed that four types were in existance, and have had the opportunity to buy all four types as a lot.
Any information, especially pictures of original examples or period photographs of these items being worn would be greatfully appreciated, thanks in advance,

Best regards,

John.

Winterhilfswerk Armband

John:

Here is picture of my original Winterhilfswerk armband from the 1933-34 campaign. These were used every year until the outbreak of the war (1939). They are made of a thin white linen cloth with a printed emblem and the Winterhilfswerk slogan and year. Size is 4" wide 15 1/2" long. Good luck! You think you might be able to post pictures of them when you get tem? I sure would like to see them.

Thanks
Mike

I am new to this site, so I am still trying to learn how to load pictures. Any help would be great!
