This set features three molded plastic street-donation ornaments issued during World War II for the German Winterhilfswerk (WHW — Winter Relief Organization) collection series titled "German City Gates" (Deutsche Stadttore). Constructed from moldedcomposition plastic with a metallic silver-painted finish and an antiqued reddish-brown wash, each ornament depicts a famous historical landmark in raised relief with its location name cleanly embossed across the base. The trio includes Neubrandenburg Stargarder Tor, Xanten Klever Tor, and Danzig Krantor. Measuring between 1.25 and 1.75 inches in height, each piece features a hollow-molded reverse side and retains its original string hanging loop. Condition is very good, displaying typical period-appropriate age toning, light wash wear to the high points, and minor cord wear.
