1917 Advert for Sweetheart Brooches
Hello
I purchased a book the other day entitled "Canada in Khaki: A Tribute to the Officers and Men now serving in the Canadian Expeditionary Force". Published in 1917, all profits went to the Canadian War Memorials Fund.
The book is a collection of articles, short stories, cartoons and other illustrations with a few advertisements. I thought the attached advert for "Military Badge Jewellery" might be of interest to some members.
The badges illustrated were by no means cheap. Using an online 'inflation calculator', the cost of a £3.00 badge in 1917 would equate to about £150 -£180 today!
