A different take on the OWS 1916 badge?
Hi all
As promised here are a few slightly different approaches to the well-known 1916 badge.
They seem to range from the professional small silver(?) "dangler" to the outright amateur attempt that your metal work teacher would have graded "C+"....
The small blue triangle claimed to have some Jewish link but, upon reflection, I would think that there is the YMCA (or maybe YWCA...) link. The famed "triangle Joe" of both wars.
I venture to suggest that it shows how the 1916 badge was worn beyond the factory floor and maybe even following WW1.
Anyone care to add to this selection?
PS Apologies for the "mind-altering" quality of these photos.....
