Some WHW Tinnies

[Mike Dunn]

These came with a WHW collection I bought-First I have seen these. Any idea as to if they came in other colors? First pink tinnie I have had!

Mike I recall green and blue too. Robert

[Mike Dunn]

Thanks Robert! These are new to me-I need to get more reference books on WHW....Mike

[Martin Harding]

Hello Mike, Robert is quite correct there is a powder Blue variant. As can be seen below my example is a little worse for wear The first time I saw this particular Badge It put me in mind a guy throwing darts

[Mike Dunn]

Thanks Martin, interesting tinnie. Are they WHW related? Mike

[Martin Harding]

Hello Mike, yes,........off the top of my head I think you will find the Badges featured in detail in Reinhard Tiestes Book - Spendenbelege des Winterhilfeswerkes Band IV. Mike I will try to locate my copy of the Book Tomorrow........ as it is now 02.36 am here in England and I am going up the dancers (to bed)

Interesting, hard to believe they would copy this. This one is between 45 & 46 cm in size. Thanks for the information. Mike
