BidProwl Summary
This lot is three WWII German WHW plastic city gate donation ornaments circa 1940s, each approximately 1.5 inches tall in very good condition with minor finish wear and original hanging loops intact. Collectors of Third Reich memorabilia, militaria dealers, and museum piece hunters pursue these because they document wartime civilian relief organization campaigns and represent historical artifact documentation. Verify authenticity by examining the embossed location names, checking for period-correct manufacturing marks on hollow reverses, and confirming the plastic composition and patina consistency across all three pieces before committing.

Description from HiBid
This set features three molded plastic street-donation ornaments issued during World War II for the German Winterhilfswerk (WHW — Winter Relief Organization) street collection series titled "German City Gates" (Deutsche Stadttore). Measuring approximately 1.5 inches in height, each ornament depicts a notable historic European gate in raised relief with its location name cleanly embossed across the base. The trio includes Augsburg Rotes Tor and Xanten Klever Tor in ivory-colored plastic with anantiqued brown wash, alongside Prag Brückentor constructed from dark plastic painted in a silver metallic finish with a reddish wash. All three retain their original string hanging loops and feature hollow-molded reverse sides. Condition is very good overall, exhibiting expected period age toning, minor finish rubbing along high points, and light wear to the hanging cords.
