The Great Tinnie War

But flip the old gal over,

and she comes to life.

More, you say? Who knew these could be so much fun?

[Ralph A]

Yawn.

[Ralph A]

Note how, on the Spring 1930 Fair tinnie pictured above, the obverse sports a plug for the Fall Fair of that year. "Begins Aug. 31!"

[James Noble]

Ralph, As long as were looking at maker marks is your Bevo SÄNGERGAU pin marked like mine. Sorry about the large pic. I'm still learning how to control this beast.

[James Noble]

Here's another Bevo item.

[James Noble]

Reverse, the pin is missing

[Ralph A]

Nice

I have one of those, but I don't remember it as being gold. Maybe it is. I'll check. I'll also check the maker mark on the SÄNGERGAU tinnie for you when I get back home.

Looks like you have the "picture thing" figured out!

PS if you edit the post with the BIG picture, there is an option at the bottom of the "edit" page to replace the pic. I sometimes miatakenly upload the wrong pic and replace it with the correct one. No problem.

[James Noble]

Trying the reverse side of SÄNGERGAU tinnie again

[Ralph A]

Maker mark

Mine has none.

[Ralph A]

For your crimes...

...against ...against.... hmmm.

Well, whatever it was you did, you are hereby sentenced to death. Tod durch das Hängen!

[Ralph A]

more WHW

and another capital offender, apparently.

[Ralph A]

WHW:

Wir Hängen Wir.

[Ralph A]

Oh, waiter?

What is on the menu tonight?

[Ralph A]

Only rabbit, sir.

Broiled Great Northern German Purple-eyed Zinc-pesty rabbit, sir.

Rationing, you know.

[Ralph A]

Ugh. No thanks.

Think I'll go back to the farm.
