This set features three molded plastic street-donation ornaments issued during World War II for the German Winterhilfswerk (WHW — Winter Relief Organization) street collection series titled "German City Gates" (Deutsche Stadttore). Measuring approximately 1.5 inches in height, each ornament depicts a notable historic European gate in raised relief with its location name cleanly embossed across the base. The trio includes Augsburg Rotes Tor and Xanten Klever Tor in ivory-colored plastic with anantiqued brown wash, alongside Prag Brückentor constructed from dark plastic painted in a silver metallic finish with a reddish wash. All three retain their original string hanging loops and feature hollow-molded reverse sides. Condition is very good overall, exhibiting expected period age toning, minor finish rubbing along high points, and light wear to the hanging cords.
