Wings linking WWII and the Tony Awards

This is something I haven't seen before: an enameled wing from the organization that started the Stage Door Canteen to entertain GI's during WWII. They are the American Theatre Wing and they also created and sponsor the Tony Awards for Broadway plays and musicals.

 

These are described online as being gold plated sterling but there are no marks on the back. They seem to have been given out to big donors during WWII. The wing design is a play on military insignia and the group's name.
