WWII Patriotic Bakelite Brooch Homefront Drum Band Pin Dangle Red Sweetheart

Description

Sweetheart of a 1940's Pin! This vintage WWII brooch is a rare find, collectible for bakelite lovers as well as those collecting patriotic or homefront jewelry. A cherry red drum dangles from crossed drum sticks to form this pin. The tops and bottoms of the drum are painted white and you can see a little bit of paint loss on the top of this one in the pictures. It just looks like it's really been played! The back has a C-clasp and the metal appears to be brass or a brassy tone.
Measures:
Top to bottom of dangle - approx. 1.75"
Width from drumstick to drumstick - just under 1.25"
