Homefrontguy Posted May 10, 2011 Share #3 Posted May 10, 2011 Your pins were sold during WW2 on cards in sets of three. There were two sets. I find the one reading Dig in four Victory to be in anteresting variety as typically it reads another slogan. The sterling variety came out of the U.S.. There is a plastic variety that is more scarce and a laminated paper variety as well that came out of Australia either in the hands of soldiers during the war or collectors after. I have pics of them all and will post them in the next day or so. Of note, I have seen these sell for in the $90+ range for a single pin when they appear in a Hake's Auction. There is a collector with all three on a card and it is currently list around $275. I guess I am saying your picker had a good find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
