ARTIFACT: This is a World War II Youth Men's Christian Association (YMCA) officer collar badge. The Association was started by a group of disillusioned young men in London in 1844 as a refuge from the social ills with which city life teemed. Nine years later the first American YMCA was set up at the old South Church in Boston, Massachusetts by a former sea captain. The badge is a golden eagle bearing a richly enameled triangle that bears the letters YMCA.

VINTAGE: Circa World War II.

SIZE: Approximately 1-1/8" in height and 1-5/8" in width.

MATERIALS / CONSTRUCTION: Gold-plated brass with enamel.

ATTACHMENT: Vertical pin with come-under locking swivel catch.

MARKINGS: None.
