hirsca Posted January 27, 2021 Share #1 Posted January 27, 2021 Pin back with Meyer Metal and Meyer shield. Measures 1 1/8". Most I see are clutch back. What era? Many thanks, Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hirsca Posted January 28, 2021 Author Share #2 Posted January 28, 2021 Found this: 2. Another early one is "Meyer Metal" in two lines with an arrow between the words. This one is also seen in a lot of brass from the 1920s and 1930s. From a post by Bob Capistrano March 30, 2008 in a thread about N. S. Meyer hallmarks.

5thwingmarty Posted January 28, 2021 Share #3 Posted January 28, 2021 I think you answered your own question. I would have said probably 20's to 30's. I don't know if there was any certain date Meyer stopped using this particular hallmark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Z Posted February 9, 2021 Share #4 Posted February 9, 2021 Could it be that the original clutch posts broke off and this is a jeweler's repair? I'm just asking as I have a collar disc like this with an unexpected pin closure. You can see on the back where the original screw post snapped off and a repair was made. Below is a photo of my disc for your reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocketman Posted December 21, 2022 Share #6 Posted December 21, 2022 Maybe some one can help identify. I got these from a Militaria Shop. The claim was they are pre-war 1930s. T snowflake pattern is interesting and the details sharp. The pics don't do it justice. Notice the raised edges on back of propeller. No Markings. over 1 inch.
