WWII GERMAN CONTRIBUTION TINNIE
Germany had a series of social organizations designed to assist German citizens in the lower economic ladder. One of such organizations
was the WHW (Winter Relief Organization). They provided food, heating oil, cooking oil, etc. to the less fortunate. One way in
which the WHW would finance their efforts was to request contributions. In return they would give the contributor a tinnie such
as the one featured here.
The WHW created entire families of tinnies with various themes. From traffic signs to Germanic heritage. The idea was for an
individual to collect all the members of the tinnie family. A tinnie may have manufacturing markings in the back. However, not
all of them were marked.
This page is a recognition and identification guide for WWII German tinnies. Multiple
detailed photos of a specific sample are provided. Descriptions point out clearly defined points
that should be noted.
One of the most commonly asked questions is "How much is my WWII German tinnie worth?". A price
guide is included here to address this question. The value of the tinniess is reviewed
over a period of several years. A trend can be observed. The present worth of the German
tinnies in the collector's market is illustrated.
