"Tinnie" is the common term for a commemorative medal made from a non-precious metal such as zinc or tin (or even plastic) and with provisions for being attached to a garment and displayed while worn. The Nazi Government issued many different tinnies to commemorate various occasions.

Shield shaped tin with a raised relief of a folded-winged eagle perched on a swastika. The tin reads “WIEDERSEHENSFEIER DER ALTEN PARTEIGENOSSEN” above the eagle with “HATTINGEN RUHR 15. 17 JUNI 1935.” There is a riband across the bottom with “GAUWESTFALENSUD.” In English “REUNION GATHERING OF OLD PARTY MEMBERS AT HATTINGEN RUHR 15-17 JUNE 1935” and the riband reads “GAU, SOUTH WESTPHALIA.”

Reverse has the original pin and maker’s mark in raised lettering “R. SEIPER & SOHNE, LUDENSCHEID.” [ad] [ph:L]
