Help authenticating/dating several pins

I thought you were supposed to get more free time after retirement lol.. I know my job keeps me very busy and a social life on top of it. Sometimes I wish I had more time like when I was a kid but then again I didn't have money and half the fun is being able to buy stuff for your hobbies.

I'll be looking forward to seeing what she is able to get out


Ordinance Battalion lapel pin (WWII). Stamped 'MeyerMetal' on reverse of the circle. Bought from the estate of a Technical Sergeant in the 603rd Ordinance Base Arm. Mn. Bn.

P.S. I forgot to click 'Post Reply' on this, oops.

 

Very cool pieces! the stories just make them that much better. It would have been awesome if you had gotten his papers, I can't believe people throw away that kind of thing buut... I have a similar regret that several years ago my neighbor passed away and his family threw out everything (3 dumpsters worth). I was able to go through one of them and found some good coins and a couple pins, an ashtray, etc but according to my stepdad, the guy was in WWII and his family also threw away all his war stuff. I curse myself for not going through the other two dumpsters.... Anyway, Hawaii bills are quite interesting. I think I might have one around somewhere but I didn't know why they were printed Hawaii, so good to know.

If I may look like a fool, what is the piece from the UK? It look like maybe a plane on wings from the picture but that isn't a standard air force one is it?
