Nancy's Sweetheart WWII Celluloid Army Plane Brooch

Wartime romance. This World War II era brooch spells out the name of a soldier's sweetheart. A small white celluloid plane brooch has red stars on each wing; this represents a WWII U.S. Army plane. A silver-tone chain trails from its tail, displaying alphabet charms that read "Nancy." The other end of the chain hangs on a tiny Army wings pin, creating a sassy swag. Sweetheart jewelry was quite fashionable during World War II, they often bore general endearments or personalized messages. This is a lightweight piece cast in rather fragile plastic, its value is historical and sentimental. Circa 1940.
