chcole1 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Picked this up in an antique store with a bunch of US Army pins. Any ideas I what it might be for and how old? Makers mark is: Populak E&M Co. 103 Fulton St. NYC Is it just a political pin or some military connection? Doesn't seem like it would be made in NY if military. Any ideas?

Kev in Deva Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Its really hard to say for sure, its more than likely connected to a U.S. based Romanian Society, frequented by ethnic Romanians, some of these Cultural organisations promoting the traditional values of Romania, including Folklore and music, others were religious based, and still others were for WW1 military veterans, (a military unit was raised for service in the U.S. Army in WW1 from ethnic Romanians living in the USA.) Nice well made period piece. Kevin in Deva. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
