Lot consists of: (A) World War II Mason Co. plaster hand painted Hitler pincushion. This example is more detailed than the commonly seen "Hotzi Notzi" pincushion. The text "Stick A Pin In The Axis" is incised on the front of base. Original felt covering on bottom. CONDITION: The pincushion has faded and there are scattered areas of paint loss. Overall very good. (B) Unmarked white plaster Hitler pincushion. CONDITION: Areas of finish loss where plaster is revealed, especially on the base. Overall good. (C) WWI era hand painted plaster figurine of a hog-tied Imperial German solider with a pincushion on his rear singed A. De Ranferi on the base. Original felt covering on bottom. CONDITION: Areas of paint loss, with scattered blemishes. Overall very good. (D) Very nice example of a "Hotzi Notzi" Hitler pincushion contained in its original box. The pincushion retains its original tag which is tied around the feet. Original pins remain in cushion. CONDITION: Original paint is very well preserved. Box lid has separated, paper stuffed wrapping has disintegrated on the interior. Overall excellent. JLD
