Issued in September 1942 for the German Winterhilfswerk charity campaign, this trio of pressed glass donation badges stems from the "Deutsche Baudenkmäler" architectural series. The pieces measure 1 to 1.25 inches high and feature detailed intaglio-molded landmarks highlighted with dark pigments. The light blue glass badge portrays the Prinz Eugen Monument in Vienna, inscribed with "Prinz Eugen Denkmal." The first green glass badge features the Tannenberg Memorial fortress with the inscription "Tannenbergdenkmal." The second green glass badge depicts an equestrian statue of the Prinz Eugen Monument in Vienna, inscribed with "Wien" at the top and "Prinz Eugen Denkmal" at the bottom. Each badge has a flat reverse with a molded horizontal channel for a mounting pin. The second green badge shows a chip on its upper right corner, and all pieces exhibit minor surface wear. PM
