            Hi Ron mine is exactly the same many thanks for posting your example up, So there are a few of these kicking about, Do you believe that these are just a standard May day pin or something else?

              James,

              Really beyond my area, so perhaps Chris Lee or Torstanbal or one of our other knowlegeable partners can answer the question.

              I always learn from them!

              Best regards,
              RonR

                Not an uncommon tinny IMO, the area of use is not known at this time.

                    I believe that this is an unofficial mayday badge. Cheers, Torsten.

                      Hello all - may be late jumping on board here as a new member but here are my 2 cents worth. 1. Mai is basically the equivalent of Labour Day and has been around a long time and still is (as shown by the 1993 tinnie). Celebrated workers. The tinnie shown here is not that uncommon and is pictured on page 34 of Tieste (Arbeit 33-01). I have several from the 20s as well...Holger

                        The origin of the International Worker's Day celebration on 1st May is actually a police massacre on striking workers in Chicago in 1886 and things then developed from there ... amazing really, the kind of things you learn in a socialist education system and then even recall in your old age (without needing to check for it online ) ... Cheers, Torsten.
