Hello everybody,

 

Recently I purchased my first uniform, which belonged to a KIA B-24 Co-Pilot. One of the items which came with the uniform was a 2nd Lieutenant bar, but I have no idea what it could've been used on. Does someone have an idea? Thanks! :)

Just throwing this out. I really have no idea but it looks like a clip type ear ring. Maybe a sweetheart thing. Or not.

Thanks for the answers! There were quite a few other sweetheart items so an ear ring would totally make sense.

That's for wearing in the officer's shower block, pin backs and clutch grips were pretty unpopular there :o

I have many sets of sweetheart earring from WWII with this type of backing...yet to find real pinback earrings for the era, surprisingly, just these unpierced ear earrings
