Wangerooge is the easternmost barrier island of the East Frisian Islands. This badge commenorates a Lighthouse that dated from 1602. Blown up early in WW1 (December 1914), it was rebuilt in 1933 and served as a dormitory for Hitler Youth and continues as a youth hostel to the present.

The history of the original lighthouse but unfortunately (for me) it's all in German:

Here is an example I posted way back in the first thread. Still do not know any more about it. Any one have any thoughts?
--dj--Joe

Here are two that my father bought home with him in 45

2... any Ideas? Have never seen any like them. both are mint.

reverse of the 2nd one is marked echt& co. menden. The other isn't marked. It is hollow.

Reds, both nice looking tinnies. I do not recall ever having seen either till now. They both appear to be sports related as both show the DRL/NSRL eagle. They refer to a lower district meet and a district festival.

--dj--Joe

Thanks Joe, I've been searching for years and have never seen either . The eagle that is on both of them is related to a sport event? My son and i thought maybey army but know we know. Thanks again.. Paul D.

Reds, you are welcome. The eagle is an emblem for the DRL/NSRL organization. I have attached an example of a lapel pin.

Another great thread Joe! Any way to make the first one a permanent "reference" thread? ~ Ian

Ian, I can pin it to the top (feature it). Not sure that will save it for posterity. It is getting dangerously close to the end of it's days if we lose any more posts.
If all are in agrement I can Start a new title like Day Badges/Tinnies thread #1 and transfer all content to it. Only lose the first post that way. I hesitate because the last one I attempted got scrambled, but I think I know what I did wrong. Worth a shot?

--dj--Joe

All content has been moved to a recently dated topic header and it is now featured.

Barker, Reference your Nierstein tinnie.

This tinnie displays the sun shinning down on the famous vineyards of Nierstein. Which is a city in the Rheinhessen region of Germany famous for its wines and sunshine. It's known as the "Land of a Thousand Hills" with a thousand years of tradition in growing wine. Their is a summer wine fest held in Nierstein every year in June. Hope this helps a little.

Flugtag.
Cheers
Don
This and the next few moved topics came from an aging thread.--dj--Joe

How about a picture of it in wear as well?

Cheers

Very nice, first time I've seen that particular tinnie and then to see an in wear photo. Very nice indeed!

...oh, I think you'll find that we are 'out there'...all around !

..a particular favourite of mine....

"Horst-Wessel-Tag, Bielefeld 1933"

(Bielefeld being the birth place of HW)

Indeed a nice example. I appreciate how much there is to see on individual tinnies. So much symbolism.

--dj--Joe

...I find that SA tinnies hold my interest...

"Marine-Standarte 2, Sachsen 3.6.34, Skagerrak-Feier"

...there also exists a similar all-over silver-coloured tinnie, I prefer this one that has the addition of the red colour...

...another favourite...

"Sturmfahnenweihe R.11/174 Brackwede 19.11.1933"

...I always keen to find 'Nitroplast' tinnies...they help bring a bit of colour to an otherwise dull looking collection of plain coloured tinnies...

"DRL 4.Deutsche Gepäckmarsch Meisterschaften, Bautzen, SA Brigade 135, 18.4.1937"

I like the Nitroplast composite tinnies also, just have one and they did not get creative on the color scheme on my example.

Good to see you over here Claymore

Thank you, nice additions.

Claymore,
Actually Efoplast is what is stamped on mine. Is Nitroplast the same material from a different maker?

What has happened to all the tinnie collectors?

--dj--Joe

The few that I own have been shown before so not sure if these have but will give it a go.

This one has been posted a few times, an oldie but anyway one of my favorites.
The 1933 dated Trier Cross, with the seamless robe of Christ in the center. 1933 was one of the few times the robe was brought out for public viewing. 1996 I believe was the last time it was displayed for public viewing which was the time I viewed it.

Interesting stick pin to show.

1932! Early they say!

Did I Post this one?

It' marked, and seems to be struck froma metal similar to tombac.

Rather thick I think, for a tinnie.

Looks good. Some tinnies are solid back, some hollow back.

--dj--Joe

Gents,

Here's a rare little unit that I picked up for a good friend of mine who's interested and collects German fishery items. This is the first time I've ever seen a TR tinnie that's directly related to that field.

This decoration celebrates the 950th anniversary
of the Bergheim fishing-brotherhood.

Does anyone have any other fishing-related goodies?

Best regards!

Bill

Thats a good "un". I've seen it in the books but never in the flesh. Or should I say in the Flish? Thanks for showing it Bill.

Let me add my Regensburg.

OH boy, there must be a lot of different tinies out there. I picked these up yesterday, and I scrolled down all the pages finding only two of them shown – “die SAAR” & “Jugendfest”. Maybe derjager would be so kind and help me with the value and a little history This small group came to Denmark with a nurse working in Germany before the war.

Stengaard, there are indeed numerous tinnies.
Could we see a reverse shot of your find?

I know next to nothing about current values. Would anyone wish to give an appraisal?

--dj--Joe

Here they are

Stengaard, thanks. See something new everyday. Never saw a pin retaining set up like the example on the Nordmark-Treffen tinnie.
The stick pin is a Life Saving association proficiency badge, DLRG. (Deutschen Lebensrettungsgesellschaft). I can not make out the wording at the top for which level proficiency badge. These were for swimming.

Woody, no idea on the last one you posted.

Dave, your tinnie is part of a series I believe. If I recall the same rune, backward swas. comes in different colors. I don't have a shot at present of the set.

One of my favourites.

Tristan, a nice sought after example.

Apologies, I seem to have posted this twice!
Anyway, three new additions.
This is Niederrhein which I bought due to the Schlageter connection with tbis Standarte.

...this Baden.

...This an HJ...nice details of the Feldherrn halle.

..Uh, four!
I bought this one as I already had the booklet to go with it.

I like the design of the GAU BADEN.

The HJ FHH badge is one of my favorites. Some think it may have been an actual award rather than a tinnie.

Very nice Munich tinnie with the Kindl!

hi,,,the pin with the reversed swastika is an old gemanic symbol used by the lombards,in the 6th century,,,here is a history of the lombards,,,The Langobards (or Lombards) were a Germanic tribe that began in southern Sweden and worked their way down into Italy by the 6th century. There they established permanent German rule in Italy, but became Italians in the process and gave their name to the northern Italian region of Lombardia. This movement from Sweden to Italy was gradual, taking some four centuries.

When the Lombards --whose original name, Langobards, refers to their long beards-- descended on Italy in the 6th century, they had to deal with several earier waves of German invaders (particularly the Goths) as well as the resurgent Eastern Romans (who were a power in Italy into the 8th century). However, twenty years after the last of the Eastern Romans were expelled from Italy (751 AD), the Lombards were stomped by the better organized Franks. This was, technically, the end of the Lombard kingdom in Italy. But it also marked the completion of the Germanization of Italy. The Lombards, unlike earlier Germans, had not maintained the ancient Roman forms of government during their domination of the Peninsula, not did the Lombard duchies which survived the Frankish onslaught in the South. The political landscape of Italy was given a German overlay by the Lombards. While everyone eventually spoke Italian and became Catholic, Italy became another Germanic area.

Perhaps most importantly, the Lombards got involved in political arguments with the Pope, and this was what caused the papacy to call upon the Franks for aid. The papacy was a prize every Medieval magnate wanted to possess. But the popes knew that they could not long survive if they were the creature of one king or emperor. The Moslems had conveniently removed the authority of the Eastern Roman emperor from Italy (with a little help from the Lombards), but someone was needed to keep the Germans in Italy (and elsewhere) from controlling the papacy. For several centuries the protector of the papacy became the Franks (and later the French). Out of all this came a papacy that became an arbiter of Medieval politics. While the papacy controlled extensive lands in central Italy, the pope was never much of a temporal power. The papacy created a balance of power between the various German kings that provided the Church an independance it would never had if there were an effective Roman, or Holy Roman, Emperor.

The last remnanst of Lombard independence in Italy, the numerous duchies which they had established in the south, eventually fell to the Normans , who had originally come into southern Italy to serve as mercenaries for the Lombard dukes.

Quite a common sa tinnie and made of some kind of plastic.

I appreciate both of you gents posting your tinnies. I've had my eye on a couple for some time, just waiting for prices to fall within my reach or to win some lottery.
Mikee, my first impression from your image is Tirol. Not sure though. Must enlist some help.

--dj--Joe

I'm not convinced that they are Tirol eagles, the top one maybe but certainly not the bottom.

I can't find any similar badges in any of my references either...

this isn't anything really special,,but I like SAAR stuff..

I used to have like 10 SAAR tinnies,,sadly most went out with the tide. This too!, found it in my backyard afterwards. Plenty of fresh water and its good as old!

can't get to my books..
This thing anything good. I don't see it around .. Value?

Reverse:

ok,,obverse..

Viking ships are cool! IF anyone has,,what is the history of this event?,,thanks

better shot,,rare? common?

2nd District Meeting of the NSDAP Wesermunde 27./28.6.1936
Saw one listed for 90 Euro. Saw one mentioned at $45 USD.

--dj--Joe

this was under salt water. Rough looking when I first found it. A bit of cleaning and I managed to save it..
IF I didn't get to Aluminum pieces right away they corroded very fast and would become dust! I got this one stable.
Could use a touch more cleaning and I'll be happy with it. It's nice on the large size piece [about a US silver dollar size].

Thanks Joe for info and valuation...,G.

Any tinnie / day badges anyone might wish to share? Post away.

Just bringing this current. It,s 2019 any new additions anyone?

--dj--Joe

2021 winding down. Any new additions?

--dj--Joe

I have a couple of Viking themed tinnies, unknown as to what or when it celebrates, but kinda neat.

I've not seen the last one you show before. Is it a small pin? It is interesting.

Hopefully, we will get some comments on your other items.

--dj--Joe

The small pin is about the size of a nickel.

John, the two shields are part of a 7 piece set of Reichs (National) level WHW donation pins sold 25-26 Oct. 1941. They represent ancient Germanic shields. Each had a colored stone in the center. Missing on yours. Your examples on the reverses - Norman, Thuringian.

--dj--Joe
