    I enjoyed the history of Accessocraft. Here is the Bundles for Britain pin mentioned in that post. The U.S. was officially neutral at this time, but private charities sent aid to the British people. I've found two of these over the years, so they were popular at the time. Bundles for Britain was found by Mrs. Natalie Wales Latham in NYC as a knitting club making sock, scarves, etc for the British. It grew to have national chapters. More at Wikipedia here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_War_Relief_Society
    1 and 5/8 x 1 and 5/8 inches.
    Dieu et Mon Droit - God and My Right - This is the English monarch's motto on the shield of England, adopted by Henry V. There's a wikipedia entry about the history of this motto, too.
    The last photo is another Accessocraft brooch that belonged to my mother. It is circa late 1940s. After the war there was tremendous admiration for Britain and the royal family. Many companies made heraldic themed jewelry. This brooch has the three feathers which are the symbol for the Prince of Whales.

    Best, Maureen
