Both items left by Lucille Bell, wife of Larry Bell founder of The Bell Aircraft Company. The Bell Aircraft Company was probably one of Harry Winston's largest customers for industrial grade diamonds used to make aircraft parts in milling machines, lathes, drilling machines, and aircraft instrumentation, during World War II. --------- Note: The Union Jack and American Flag Brooch was given to Queen Elizabeth II in 1957, by the Mayor of New York City. --- Both P-39 Airacobra Brooches remain in a bank vault even today. ---- This posting is for historical and educational purposes.
