Not I.
I like the design. Anything of note on the reverse?

Hi Joe,
no just a plain needle.This object is from the Kampfzeit,when the party had decided to buy a building,the brown house in Munich(which is depicted on the tinnie),they asked members to donate 2RM each.The donors in return would have got a postcard like papersheet stating that they donated for the movement.I would be interested if this tinnie was given to each donor or if it was given to those that gave a considerable amount higher than the 2RM.

Wachmann, a very interesting tinnie. Braunes Haus.
Above, the building is more naturalistc and below, the beautiful Artd�co lined swastika and rim.

Concerning the swastika, is it possible that your tinnie is begin 30ties? The swastika stands on the top of his leg, instead of flat. I don�t know when the swastika officially changed .
My compliments.

Cheers,
Benten

Thanks for the info,Benten.You are perfectly right with your hinting the early 30ies.I have no real idea when exactly the tinnie was issued,but the building itself was bought in 1930,so the issue date will be close to that I guess.
