Very Rare Early WWII PAA Africa (Ferries) One Year of Service Pin Screwback

This is a very rare early World War II one year of service pin for PAA Africa (also known as PAA Ferries). Roosevelt and Churchill approached Pan Am to form a subsidiary that would have outposts in Africa, and the venture became instrumental in supplying Allied troops in Egypt and Sudan. The pin is in sterling silver and is in a screwback style.

Circa early World War II.

Approximately 5/8" in length x 7/16" in height.

Sterling silver, enamel.

Single screw post with disc backing.

STER on reverse of pin; STERLING on backing.

This is from an airlines collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. VEJX12 LBCEX11/12 SBJJX03/31/23
