Hi
Anyone any ideas on this? Probably a lobster, aluminium or other very light metal, nice patina, pin back, I’ve no idea at all but it is attractive and of a decent age Thanks John |
Hi John
Interesting badge. The pin back arrangement looks Continental or maybe Middle Eastern. That empty square (top left on your pic) may have had a stone of some sort in it at some time. Turquoise is often an option... Hope this helps :) |
I think this is a zodiac sign, Scorpius (Scorpion): October 24–November 21.
Also, as suggested by DumDum, maybe a coloured glass gemstone is missing from the squared area, at 10 o'clock. The lightweight metal and style suggests, to me, it could be a Winterhilfwerk WHW badge. One from the many sets of charity badge sold 1941-42 to raise funds for winter clothing and supplies for the German troops fighting in Russia. Keith |

Thanks for your replies so far, there certainly is something missing from the ‘box’ shape.
