We found these among my mother in laws effects. The pin is Bakelite and the photo is of my father in law. We assume the dice to be made from human tooth most likely his from when he spent a month in the hospital after a bomb exploded near by sending him sprawling through elephant grass. The photo is the size of a quarter.
So very unusual!
Nice sweetheart jewelry! Proudly worn by your mother in law to show her support for the men off fighting.
I am a collector of WW2 sweetheart items, nothing from the family though-- I am jealous!
I suspect the dice are made from bone-- very typical, if indeed soldier made.
