normaninvasion Posted May 8, 2016 Share #2 Posted May 8, 2016 They are sweetheart emblems. Top 2 are a pattern worn from 1940-50s H&H . The other I believe is from 1920s? but someone can chime in with better info on the pattern Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brig Posted May 8, 2016 Share #4 Posted May 8, 2016 The other '1920s' emblem is a strange one...no one has identified the maker yet, and it appears it was used as a collar emblem and a sweetheart emblem, even pinback variants were used as pinback. Even more strange, all were done in enlisted patterns, and officers were known to sometimes wear them as they were officer size ones I attribute to sweetheart over uniform tend to have a flat disk on the back of the globe, OR have been painted silver and gold as is the case with yours.

EGA-DOG Posted May 25, 2016 Share #14 Posted May 25, 2016 My "opinion" on the 20's emblem is that brass is the base metal. The silver wash was added to the eagle and globe. Notice on the eagle's wing where the brass is starting to show through. By it being "painted" or plated, does not make it simply a sweetheart piece. It's a nice emblem. The phrase "Sweetheart piece" gets thrown around too many times because we will probably never have all the answers to...Why,When, and Who.
