WWII German WHW Plastic City Gate Ornaments (4)

Updated August 26, 2026

This set contains four molded composition plastic ornaments issued during World War II for the German Winterhilfswerk (WHW — Winter Relief Organization) street donation campaign series titled "German City Gates" (Deutsche Stadttore). Constructed from off-white/ivory composition plastic with an applied antiqued brown wash, each ornament measures approximately 2.0 inches in height and depicts a notable historic German city gate in raised relief, complete with an integral mounting loop and hanging cord. The set includes miniatures of the Hamburg Wiener Tor, Xanten Klever Tor, Regensburg Ostentor, and Soest Osthofentor, with each structure's name cleanly embossed across its base. The reverse sides display the matching hollow-molded profile. All four pieces are in very good original condition, exhibiting expected age toning, minor edge wear to the antiqued finish, light surface dust, and wear to the hanging strings consistent with period souvenirs.
