from a sow's ear...

Didn't have much luck adding to my tinnie collection on my trip to Germany but a friend gave me this. No way to prove it was period done but someone made an effort to make a rather common tinnie look better. I think he/she did a pretty good job!

Based on the dress, he or she had indeed a rather steady hand.

Sorry, but painting the tinnie you cannot read anymore the inscription: Ostmark, Altreich, Sudetenland:

Tag der Arbeit, 1. Mai 1939, Ostmark, Altreich, Sudetenland, Leichtmetall
Rs: senkrechte Nadel, Hersteller M 9/187 Grossmann & Co, Wien
