WHW (Winterhilfswerk) Collecting Box (Sammelbüchse) – Gau Steiermark
Category:
€ 85,00
Nice period WHW (Winterhilfswerk) collection tin as used for public fundraising campaigns in Gau Steiermark.
The sturdy metal collection tin retains much of its original red painted finish, showing honest wear and paint loss from period use. The lower edge is clearly embossed “Gau Steiermark”.
The lid is fitted with the original carrying handle, locking mechanism and coin opening. The internal anti-theft mechanism is still present. The lid is additionally numbered 21402, most likely an inventory or registration number.
The underside bears the manufacturer marking of M. Westermann & Co., Neheim-Ruhr (WESCO).
A very characteristic and increasingly difficult to find piece of WHW fundraising equipment with an attractive, untouched appearance.
