It would surprise me to hear of any other makers of this tinnie besides these listed here. Bender's Military Advisor magazine ran a near complete listing of all the makers of the Seefahrt Ist Not tinnie, with the exception of the maker 'E.K. Haass, Hamburg'. With that said, who knows, there may be more we aren't aware of at this time...

Respectfully,
Robert

Something different.

I really like things like this! Did you find it on MAR Historical?

Bought it years ago from one of the Hamburg dealers.
Thanks for the list of makers, one of my favourite tinnies.

Is it possible to list them in order of difficulty to find?

Is it possible to list them in order of difficulty to find?

Bob Hritz

Not really, Bob. Well, I shouldn't say that. I looked and looked, almost gave up looking, for a 'Fechler' Seefahrt to complete my set. One day two of them showed up on websites. I couldn't believe it. In the meantime I found a 'Haass', the only one I've ever seen. To build a complete set there are obviously those whose numbers are greater than the 'Fechler' or the 'Haass', and you can get them readily. You just have to keep looking at most every update online. The greatest source of these are at the SOS. To sum it up there is some truth in what you're asking, and I suppose I could go back in my mind and sort out which makers I found and in what order I found them. But, it may not be the same for everyone. You get my point I'm sure.

[Bob Hritz]

Thank you, Robert. I have been offered 17 of them with different makers and one unmarked. I would rather pick up the more scarce makers first so don't end up spending years to find that final maker I need. Of course, there is no Haass or Fechler in the group.
