Description

The listing, 2 RED CROSS lapel tabs World War II waving Medic Flag & American Junior Red Cross has ended.

I have been offering RED CROSS items from my collection of pins and tabs. In view of the interest shown, I am finding others as I sort through and am continuing to offer them here.

Here I am offering TWO (2) RED CROSS lapel pins as each has some lithographed paint wear - a WW II Red Cross medic's flag tab and an American Junior Red Cross tab.

(1) Offered is a World War II era RED CROSS Flag shaped lithographed metal tab approximately 1" by 5/8".

This lapel pinback tab is a diecut image of a Red Cross medic flag waving on a flagpole, typically issued to raise funds for the World War humanitarian effort.

Above the flag is a white metal fold tab. The top circle on the tab is print stamped with two (2) union bugs or logos.

There some paint loss from the metal where the flag tab had been previously folded, as can be seen in the photo.

(2) Also offered in this auction is an original lithographed 5/8" lapel tab or badge for the AMERICAN JUNIOR RED CROSS with shield and red cross. There is wear to the paint as shown.

I am separately offering an "I SERVE" early 1900s Red Cross pin or button in another Listia auction. Please continue to check back as I will offer other items from this original collection of Red Cross button pins and tabs.

Gorgeous pins, and in good condition considering their age. My mother served in WW11 as a WAVE and she just died this past summer. These made me think of her. :)

Thank you for your kind comment and interest. It is Great to honor your mother's service as a WAVE (coincidentally my mother served as a WAC). Finally the contributions of women in military service are receiving the recognition they so deserve.
