Trying out new camera, so went with something small. The pin is an attendence award fro Pratt & Whitney from the mid to late 1940's, pin itself is sterling silver with enamel paint. Thinking the camera works pretty well, but I need to play with it some more and iron out my faults. Thanks for putting up with my follies and hope you enjoyed seeing this.
