RCN Sweetheart Pin
I rediscovered a pin in my wife's button collection. I had forgot about this, my wife and I have do not have a family connection to the RCN so no idea where it came from. Any ideas?

Hello Bob,
I collect the RCN sweetheart pins & jewellery as a sideline to my main RCN collection & have about a dozen of these pins in various forms & designs. Some examples have engraving on them as well. ie: 'To Julia, Love Bill' or something to that effect. They are really quite nice I think. I just added another to my small collection yesterday. They are not really expensive (most go in the $10-20 range, depends upon what it is & how intricate the design is, & if gold or silver) I dont have any photos of them but I will try to take some & post. If you might be considering of moving your pin on I am definitely interested. RCN Bryan Last edited by RCN; 21-03-13 at 02:39 PM. |

Thanks for the info Bryan, we're not interested in selling though, I was just curious about it after I tried to Google up some info on it.

RNCVR Sweetheart Pins
& here are three examples from the Great war - RNCVR pins - they are in reality lapel pins, however I class them the same as Sweetheart pins.....
the lapel pins are frequently marked with the makers firm & sterling if they are silver as most are, altho one example I have is gold filled. |

Here is another example of the standard 2WW RCN crest pin on its original card. I have several variants/sizes of this pin but only this one on its original card...
