Gau Berlin Harmonica WHW

Featured Replies

#1

I mentioned in another thread that last fall I found a miniature harmonica labeled WHW Gau Berlin in a Vets estate,I never knew such existed.I have not had a desire to buy any WHW reference books,so I am ignorant of the size of the Harmonica set or if this is a singular trinket.

I collect WHW/VDA and my collection is in several reference books. The harmonica is probably just over an inch long.it was given as a token on 14-15 January 1939 in Gau Berlin. It is a singular item for the collection period

I have never actively collected WHW,not really my cup of tea,but do find them fascinating.Back in the 70' and 80's when I was able to buy from Vets directly,their groupings almost always had a WHW item or two.So I have accumulated a collection.... a few I have shown here.That said,I for one would like to see a representative sample of what you have collected when you have time.

That is a great start very cool plates thank you for posting them! I don't intend to sound pompous,but lets face it we have all seen the commons over and over again.Seeing some of the rarer items would be cool.......I also remember passing on 3 "tinnies" years ago.They were wedgewood porcelain in appearance...blue and tan/white and I remember they were Mariner  themed my old brain can't recall what they said other than WHW.
