Issued by Deutsche Bundespost in 1969, these two semi-postal stamps celebrate 19th-century German tin figures (Zinnfiguren), charmingly illustrated in folk-art style. The 10+5 Pfennig Christmas stamp depicts a child on a winged horse around 1850, symbolizing joy and innocence. The 50+25 Pfennig Welfare issue portrays a knight on horseback from circa 1840, representing medieval chivalry and craftsmanship. Both designs highlight the artistry of traditional German toy makers, combining cultural nostalgia with a charitable purpose during the holiday season.
