1942 Walter Lampl Remember Pearl Harbor Patriot Pin - Lapel Size
This is the smaller, lapel size, version of the famous “Patriot Pin” sold as a symbol of patriotism after the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941. It shows a blue-enameled globe with a gold-tone airplane zooming towards a glass faux pearl centered in the Pacific Ocean to represent Hawaii. Red, white, and blue enameled ribbons extend from the globe, with the words REMEMBER PEARL HARBOR on them. On the back, it reads FOR AID TO THE HONOLULU COMMUNITY CHEST and DES. PAT. APP. FOR and BY LAMPL. Walter Lampl donated 10% of the retail price of this to Hawaiian emergency relief efforts. Read more about the history of this brooch in our 1-11-24 blog post. This small lapel size is far more rare than the already-scarce full size “Patriot Pin.”
Measures 1 inch long and 3/8 inch wide.
Excellent vintage condition.
