ARTIFACT: 1950's vintage United Kingdom Transatlantic Brides and Parents Association member badge. The center of the badge shows a ship on the ocean and an aircraft flying the sky between North America and Europe and the outer, dark blue ring shows the letters: "T • B • P • A". The reverse shows a maker's mark that reads: "PATTORINI & SONS BARR ST. B'HAM".
