Help w/tinnie

[DJ Roach]

I own a plastic tinnie. Constructed of dark red plastic. I haven't seen another like it and wondering if anyone can tell me what it was issued for. (Please forgive the bad picture. I also have this thing stored in a vacuum plastic bag.)



Thanks for help anyone can give me........

Yup

That thar's your basic Hessentag tinnie for a celebration in the NSDAP's "Gau Kurhessen" on the 28th thru 30th of May, 1937 in Kassel. Probably given out in return for a donation to the Party. About $35-40+.

Does it have it's pinback? Any maker's marks?

Sometimes these little "tinnies" (though yours is plastic) were worn long after the event, as a show of solidarity and political support.

Think of these things as that era's screenprinted "event t-shirt".

Thanks for the info. It does have a pinback and a small mark on the rear.

reverse

If you can, post a good picture of the reverse so we can see the makers-mark...

Ralph's comment is right-on; donate some cash for the benefit of the party or the WHW and get a souveneir....
