retiredkper Pillar of the Community United States 541 Posts	Posted 02/24/2019 3:55 pm Looks like it originally had a pin on back and is one of several glass pin backs lumped together with what are called "tinnies" and Gau badges. Report this Post to the Staff

retiredkper Pillar of the Community United States 541 Posts	Posted 02/27/2019 6:19 pm I found it listed in Reinhard Tieste's book volume 1 Winterhelp pins, on page 56. It was issued in March 1934. "Mintage" 5,812,000 made in Lauscha / Thuringia. The Winter Help was a fundraising effort for poor and displaced Germans often living under foreign rule. Donors got thousands of pins and things like these for their money. Report this Post to the Staff
