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. The green glass badge depicts the Strasbourg Cathedral, inscribed with "Straßburger Münster" along the base. The amethyst-tinted glass badge portrays the historic Marienburg castle fortress in West Prussia, bearing the inscription "Marienburg." The clear glass badge features blue-accented detailing of the Holstentor gate in Lübeck, inscribed with "Holstentor Lübeck." Each piece has a flat reverse with a molded horizontal channel for a mounting pin. The amethyst badge shows a chip on its upper left corner, and all pieces exhibit minor edge wear. PM
