Hello all,
I just made a large purchase ofvarious items from a WWII Vet. I received approximately 37 tinnies/stick pins fromthe vet. He told me that he was an engineer and when the allies moved into Frust (I think) the German Civilans threw their tinnies/stick pins into a fresh water resevior as they fled. He later did some work on the fresh water resevior and thats where the tinnies/pins came from.
Anyhow, I bought the tinnies, not the story. I posted some pictures though not that great. Any information would be greatly appreciated since I know nothing about tinnies/pins. If anyone sees any rare ones could you let me know that would be great. If someone might be able to give me a ballpark value to that would help me because I have no idea at all what these things are worth, maybe nothing I don't no? Thanks
Warm regards,
Steve
