Sterling WWII US Army Signal Corps Camp Crowder Sweetheart Pin

This is a World War II United States Army Signal Corps Camp Crowder sweetheart pin in sterling silver. Camp Crowder was formed as an armor training center in 1941 in Neosho, Missouri. It is notably the spot where TV characters Rob and Laura Petrie of The Dick Van Dyke show are to have met. The pin has a bar reading CAMP CROWDER from which a wreathed signal corps symbol hangs.

Circa World War II.

Approximately 15/16" in height and 13/16" in width.

6+ (Fine-Very Fine): The pin shows some areas of medium to heavy wear and tarnish; end of pin is slightly bent but still catches.

As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
