Can anyone identify this maker?

I've looked in the NSDAP data base for a maker's name for this tinnie, but came up empty-handed. Can anyone identify 'OW'?

No problem. Here's an RZM list I put out a few years back to promote my out of print RZM guide for collectors. You can download it here for free (RZM List) and do searches on numbers or names.

Hope it helps.

Thanks Stephen,

This will really be a great help. Nice work!

I compiled this list and posted it here years ago, doubt there's a better one out there, most have just copied it.

I first published my list in 1995, and CR Davis published one of the best lists in 1975, so I guess we all copy from someone...

As I have more makers on my 2002 list than you have on your current list I clearly did not copy it from you or C.R. Davis.

If anyone wants a list of tinnie makers RZM marks it would be wise to copy the one with the most on it, which as far as I know is mine, hence me saying most have copied it.

Feel free to update your website list with those I provided back in 2002, you have 4 missing in the first 100 alone. I have managed to expand the list even more since 2002.

I have collected tinnies for 35 years and put a lot of time and effort into finding information for my lists.
Cheers

Thank you Colin,

The makers of the 1935 Tag der Arbeit seem endless. My collection is growing by the week with new pieces coming in. This update you have provided is a real asset to my hunting of new makers. Thank you for this list. At some point I'll post a photo of my collection. There are also quite a few unmarked examples of this tinnie, which I also collect by pin fastener.

Thanks again,
Robert

Here is the bulk of my 1935 Tag der Arbeit tinnie collection. The overflow is in another case. I'm having a hard time finding new makers, but I know they're out there somewhere. It's just a matter of time and money before the collection is complete.

Very nice!!!


I have sold many doubles of my old collection, seeing how good they look together here i wish i didn't...

Bringing back this old thread. My 1935 Tag der Arbeit tinnie collection has grown this last year.

I've purchased one other 1935 Tag der Arbeit whose name I cannot find on the list of tinnie makers, P.W. HEB, Ludenscheid. I'll post photos of it when it arrives this next week.

Here is my updated 1935 Tag der Arbeits. I have a few Seefahrt Ist Not tinnies overflowing into the right case from another display case. Note the cardpaper 1935 Tag der Arbeit in the right lower case.

Respectfully,
Robert
