VINTAGE: Circa World War II.

SIZE: Approximately 1" square.

MATERIALS / CONSTRUCTION: Plated brass.

ATTACHMENT: Horizontal pin with C catch; four bendable prongs (would have secured missing wool backing).

ITEM NOTES: We have other tech rep items available that were purchased along with this item, all of which came from the estate of a Pratt & Whitney tech rep who returned to New Hampshire after the war. This is from a United States Army Air Forces collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. 2@VBJX11 LAGEX7/11 S(1)VAEJX11/20
