BURGERHAUS

Another chance to cool off.

Gents In keeping with this thread and the warmer weather ahead.....Kreigs Meisterschaften im Schwimmen Wein 1941

Joe I agree also you are right about the e and r in Berlin.  The DRK badge and Frauenhilfdienst  have the same markings.  I don't recall exactly when and why the marked Frauenhilfdienst were deemed copies.  I know Stubbe had a contract for RDK.  If someone or even Stubbe for that matter would keep producing postwar why would they not keep producing DRK??  Thanks all for the input.  This is the most action Ive seen on here in quite a spell.  Its great.  Regards Robert

• put that nerf in a safe place when hes outgrown it.  It will be a collectable someday!

• Correct Dion.  Am curious to know if your little (probably not so little now) boy is with you in Florida.  What a cute little bugger he was.  Its nice that you are here.  A big welcome!

And you changed your name to monster.  Here is my 25 but diferent pin setup. 

• Thanks for that Joe.  Now to ever get a chance to go there.  Hopefully not in my next life.

That's right Joe.  I keep forgetting about that one. I  allways wonder about the criteria for some of these that date all the way back to the previous century.  Would one have to prove somehow they gardened in 1886 lets say in order to qualify?  Easy maybe to BS your way to that level badge?

• Hard to believe this thread is 12 years old!!!  And we have yet to cover all the bases.  Any photos in wear out there?

Great find Don.  Maybe someday I  will be able to get my hands on one of those.  Well done.

That's good to know Joe.  Thanks for the help.

Joe Have you ever seen one of these before?  I wonder about who in particular would wear this.  Maybe its the bottom line generic souvenir or one who works for KdF?  No clue

Hello Gents  Have any of you ever seen one of these and if so how would it be worn?  Attached to a pocket perhaps.  Smaller than a penny and light as a feather.  Thanks for your time.  Regards Robert

Don  Your right sir.  Thanks for your good eyesight.

A larger version than my Lilliput whose maker I cannot make out. Ahh Franke and Company!  Could not make it out with my loupe.

First entrance on this thread for 11 years. 

• I believe so Joe.  Except for Frank&Reif which the jury is still out on.  At least until now anyway.

Bingo!!!

• Wish me luck.  A Wagner is on its way.  I need to get out of my sleepwear and go out to the mailbox in an hour or so.

Gents  I was able to get this C. Dinsel Berlin 44 Very nice enamel work IMO

And here a Dinsel Arbeit Dank.

Maybe I or someone else has a Dinsel Party Pin to show and compare.  Although these are low-end items price-wise, the quality of the workmanship and enameling is outstanding and I truly believe you can feel it when in hand as well.  Is it me or do you feel it as well?  Good weekend. Robert

Alas I now have something else to search for this year.....Ferd. Wagner.  I find I have two Poellath open to trade.

Again you guys are too sharp or I am too dull.  This one was right next to an Otto Hoffman which sold before this one.  Go figure.  Blessings for 2018 men.

No I didn't notice either of those differences on either of those pieces.  Now I have to go back under my bed and get them out and look although I believe I posted an anniversary here many moons ago.  I'll look now.

Don  I just looked I see that.You two are sharp as tacks

Very interesting enamel werk on this Austrian diamond Lentwerk Bruder Schneider

On second glance and even with a loupe I cannot say with certainty that it is 149............... whose vision is better???  Help Please

Gents  Ive finally found a little inside time to scan these for comparison purposes.  Here they are........  From left to right of course... Seiboth,Mayer,Poellath, and Deumer

And the reverse of course  Same sequence of makers.  Good health and fortune to all in 2018!  Robert

The darkness of the Seiboth is in the enamel work as it has no real surface substance that would cause the enhanced brown coloration.  So I am thinking  a primitive earthtone for the organization.  But I digress.  We can draw our own conclusions..........

This one appears to have a lot more brown (earth) enameling on it than the other makers.  When time permits I plan on lining all the makers up for comparison.
