A matched pair of 1940s German Afrika Korps celluloid brooches, each 2 inches tall, depicting soldiers in desert uniforms with hand-painted details, both missing pin hardware and showing paint loss, discoloration, and wear. Collectors of WWII militaria and vintage celluloid novelties typically pursue these for display or to round out uniform-related collections. Before bidding, examine the extent of the cracking on the second brooch, verify the structural integrity of the hollow plastic bodies, and confirm whether the missing pin mounts are replaceable or if the openings indicate irreparable damage.

Description from HiBid
Dating to World War II, this pair of hand-painted, hollow-molded plastic pins depicts German pilots in flight gear, featuring head coverings with goggles, tunics, rifles, and black boots. Issued as Winterhilfswerk (WHW) donation tokens, these pieces belong to a series of street campaign pins highlighting various military personnel. Both figures measure 2 inches tall with no visible maker's marks. Each is missing its reverse pin hardware and displays paint loss, discoloration, surface scratches, and soiling. One pin shows adhesive residue on the reverse, while the other exhibits widespread cracking, a damaged pin mount, and a circular mold opening.
