Day of the german girl tinnie

[Terry K.]

Hi all ,
I just picked this up at a flea market about an hour from my home. I have never seen this one. It looks like brass, silver plated?or a silver type metal. Stamped out on a press for sure. Made by Paulmann & Crone, Ludenscheid . Approx. 41 X 18 mm. Very heavy but a nice looking wolfs-angle. Anyone know anything about this celebration? Held 14.-15. Oct 1933 in Koln. Is this a hard one to find?

Hi Terry,
I owned on like it that looked brass to me . It is a tinnie that is a little harder to find so it is somewhat uncommon. Most HJ related tinnies are somewhat hard to come by. It is easier to find a KC than to find this tinnie. Nice find. JME

Hi Jurgen E,
I didn't think it was that scarce. Is it considered one of the early jugend ones? What is the earliest known HJ/BDM ones known, if you know?
Thanks,
Terry

Hi belinda,
Thanks for showing your badge. I see no MM on that one. I wonder how many different maker there were? It must have been a large meet if they had that many different badge makers.
