Dear Greg,

Thats a very cool original box, first time i see it. I always presumend the glas buildings were (at least partly) issued in a hardcover luxuary box with a seperate "bed" for each glas statue. Under here my small contribution. Im having a hard time figuring out all the names on the statues, anyone have a list perhaps?

Hi Gaston,

Here's an earlier discussion, with the names of the monuments.

Hey Greg,

It looks like a few of yours have trace amounts of uranium in them. The Marineburg piece has the most...I like it!

The pieces with uranium in them are the green ones...I take a portable black light to any green glass that I get in. When you have one that has a lot of uranium in it you'll know...it will really glow. If you look at the other two pieces in your photo you will see just small amounts in them.

You can also check out our book...we have all of them in there as well as the rest of the National Street Collection of the Winterhilfswerk.

Chrys, are you saying that your new book has photos of all the WHW tinnies that were made and sold?

Hey Mike,

The first book has at least one variant from every piece in the National Street Collection of the Winterhilfswerk. Not even Tieste has every variant piece in his books. Our next revision sometime down the road will have more of the variants included.
