Tinnies General Tinnie Database

[benten]

I agree with Benten. A very nice badge and somewhat appropriate today. Correct me if I am wrong but are not the populations of most EU countries in decline? I happened to listen to Vladimir Putins' state of the nation speech over the Summer and his theme was the introduction of new benefits to encourage the Russian people to procreate in greater numbers with offerings of longer periods of time off payments for the Mother, increased benifits for each additional child added to the family, etc. He went as far as to ask Russian expatriates to return to Russia. Thanks for showing that nice tinnie James.

Yes Robert the stimulation now for larger families is perhaps not so explicite as in the Nazi time, but it is still current . As you said , increased benefits. However in China we see the opposite policy of real oppression. You are only allowed to have one child, or two childeren under certain circumstances.

Robert, this type of tinnie "Braunschweig 17/18 october 1931" is well known.

The second pattern here... it's RZM marked .....so,I think around 1934-35. This tinnie became a kind of NSDAP honor badge.

In 1931, Weimar republic, Braunschweig became a centre of a political struggle between Socialis/Communists and Nazis. Braunschweig had in fact a political Socialistic mayority. The Nazis got only influence by alliance with other parties. Besides that they mobilized 100.000 SA men!! from all over Germany to go to this city to show their power....."the battle" of Braunschweig....many wounded and a few people died .

Here my tinnie......

Rothenberg ob der Tauber (above the Tauber River).

It's a beautiful ancient walled city, I think possibly the oldest complete on in Germany. It suffered some damage due to bombing in the war, but has since been restored.

Here's a similar view from earlier this year.

Cheers

[BURGERHAUS]

Don Beautiful shot. Is the building depicted most prominently a private residence or a hotel? Also, was Rotenburg known during TR as a model city and a KdF destination? I beleive I read that somewhere but can't recall where. Hence the badge I have shown. Off the top of your head what is its' proximity to a major city? Thank You Sir Robert

[Scowen]

I think that the yellow house is a private residence, many of the houses have rooms to let for a couple of nights stay.

Can't say about the KdF connection but it sounds likely as it has all the hallmarks for a place of culture & German history.

I guess it's about 30 miles as the crow flies east of Nuremberg.

Cheers

Don

[benten]

Nice tinnies Robert!! One can feel the romantic sphere of these little German cities.

Keep practicing the S?tterlin.

Cheers,

Benten

Nothing special, but i found this amongst the wifes grandfathrs stuff.

[attachmentid=61884][attachmentid=61885]The Seefahrt is special. It's an heirloom. These have also been heavily copied which makes yours all the more special. Benten, I am glad you showed your Kdf with blue. I often wondered about my example because of the waythe blue overlaps the parts that should't be painted. Now I see that yours is exactly like mine so this is good. Another town/village/castle here. The interesting thing about this one is its' RZM markings (Wachtler & Lange) but lacking a Haken Kreuz. Kind of like the marked Munich tinnie that lacks it. Without the markings you would be hard pressed to determine what time period it was from. Robert

[BURGERHAUS]

[attachmentid=62177]Well i have never had the pleasure until now of meeting the sister. Very nice! But I still have Rotenburg on my mind. I have no idea of age on this though it appears tarnished silver with a period attaching pin on the reverse. Antique market find.

[benten]

Robert , nice Grandl Hunting "Jewellery", German Grandl "Schmuck";jewellery always recognizable in combination to dear's teeth. In earlier days the aristocratics wore these hunting jeweLlery in gold. Later the more ordinary people wore silver .

As you know yours is made for tourists . If you want, you can check out if the theeth are real or plastic? They put a bit light brown paint on them.

Perhaps the backside reveals more about the date of it?

I like objects of the German culture.

Here an old walking stick device from Berchtesgaden

[BURGERHAUS]

[attachmentid=62462]Benten That walking staff device is a real beauty. Have you ever considered attaching it and using it ? To this day I use my Opa's stick (homemade) It was passed on to me and has his name carved into it. Nothing ornate or fancy. A Bauernburger for sure! Anyway I can see no markings on the back of this at all. It has tarnished quite a lot as under the attaching pin and other covered areas it is very shiny. Any ideas as to its' age? The teeth appear to be made of a hard plastic. Thanks for all of your info on this pin. I had no idea what it was for other than the Rothenburg image. Robert

[benten]

Robert, your badge is nice elaborated , newer touristica most times doesn?t have that. It is a solid badge and the pin itself, shape and material brass pin are like those of the Third Reich pins ?.it?s hard to say what date.

I think it?s a very nice to have in your collection.

Cheers,

Benten

here is between the war tinnie

[BURGERHAUS]

[attachmentid=63765][attachmentid=63766]I second benten's statement about Mike's tinnies. Incredibly detailed. I also thank all for the photos of modern-day buildings and vistas from my examples. Another to show. Gautreffen Gau Westfalen-Nord 1938. Have a nice night. Robert

[BURGERHAUS]

Benten The DJH shows no indication of date but has the period pin attachment setup. My provider was down last night so I had a little time to scan some more obscure pieces. I beleive they are all period but are of the unknown variety. Thank you as always for your imput on the symbolism. Robert

[BURGERHAUS]

Here is another period tinnie that is also hard to pinpoint. It appears that there are 2 axles on the tinnie so I wonder if maybe SWA is an axle company? have a nice weekend.

[Wood]

Robert, your axle company may be a weavers, as the lower object appears to be a shuttlecock.

Regards,

Pete
