Tinnie-Buying Binge

[Curt Steinbach]

A couple cheapies from the OVMS Show this weekend and a pretty nice plastic SA tinnie:

1935 Seefahrt ist Not
(maker is J. Dinnebier Nachfolger) I never saw this maker before.

Hi Tom:

Always nice to see a Seefahrt tinnie!

I haven't tried to get any more of the Seefahrt makers in a long time. Missing a couple and then some crimping variants. Not sure if you remember this thread that Robert P. and I put together

Here are mine (hope you don't mind).

Tom,
thanks so much for posting these beautiful items!

i have not seen them before (no surprise), but they are wonderful items to look at and such an important and impressive part of TR memorabilia collecting!

Tinnies are, besides period photos, The Direct Window into the TR over time. They catch every event, catalogue every trend, and they are in an incredible variety of forms.

Tinnie collecting is: Affordable, Much Less Fakes, and have a great Variety of Subjects for collectors to focus on. In other words, they have everything going for them! These examples show that! Gorgeous!

And Curt - thanks for posting your items!!

One of the most difficult to find of the Seefahrt Ist Not tinnies is this special presentation example, marked "900". SeeFahrt900B.jpeg

Tom, and Tim too,

I think Tinnies are some of the most wonderful and underrated collectibles of the TR period. Incredible variety of beautiful designs! And you can focus a collection on various aspects depending on what you are interested in. And there are, indeed less fakes!
Thanks for this TR Eye Candy! Sweet!

Thanks - I’m getting used to this edit system,
so if I repeat myself, forgive me.
but my appreciation is from the heart.
Keep the Tinnies coming!
