      watermelon tinnie

      Hello Chris,
      Not sure about the watermelon reference, perhaps the stone is "watermelon rind green". Retail is 5-10, with the surface rust on this one, a couple of dollars.
      Best Regards,
      Fred

          Chris, As far as I can find out there was no specific reason for the deferent colored stones used by the WHW other for eye appeal to help sell more of these items. You will find their use in several types of items sold to rase money for the winter relief org. Here's one with an amber stone.

                In German WHW is Winter-Hilfs-Werks and was from 1933-1945. In English-Winter welfare organization. Your eagle came in many different colors versions as did other WHW tinnies. Hope that helps. Mike
