This is just like Son In The Service pin I posted about a year ago. It's in really good shape since the material is quite fragile. I picked this up in Brimfield along with another regular 1 star Sweetheart pin. A nice addition to my WWII collection!

I love these sweetheart items as well.

Several of us on here have postings of them.

Thanks for sharing yours.

Thanks, Scott. I'll have to take some more pics. I have a cadueceus pin with 3 stars, and those are quite rare also, I understand.

Is it WW1 era? I'd like to see it.

I have some WW2 rhinestone pieces from the Medical Corps.

I am a huge fan of WW2 trench art sweetheart pieces. Here are some examples of what I am talking about:

Thanks, Scott. I'm not sure what era, I have to pull it out of the display and look. I like your link, that was when they were just starting to use plastic a lot.
