These next items are from the collection called Schulsammler (school collector). There were six figures released on 9. März 1935 to assist in the Winterhilfwerkes (winter charity works). These were hand painted by members of the HJ and BDM. The first one is Junge nach links, braunes Hemd (Boy looking left, brown shirt), T082. For hand painted wooden badges, these are in pretty good shape for 77+ years old.
