WWII Pins, Medals. Never seen these before. Need help identifying.

[danmandr]

Came across three WWII pins that I have never seen before. Has anyone else come across these before? If so, what are they? Thanks in advance.

The wings are a service pin for Eastern Airlines.

none of those are WW2 or military related. as charlie stated, the wings are an old Eastern Airlines pin. The others are likely some sort of fraternity fob/medal and some other sort of pin, likely a hat pin based on the catch device

The wings are "Eastern Airlines" wings.



Opps see someone else came up with that also, while I was on the phone.

The one on the right appears to be a hat badge.

The center one reminds me of vintage fire service badges, but the loop at the top makes me think "watch fob".

Thanks guys for the help on the eastern airlines pin. Boy was I way off on that one! If anyone still has any ideas on what exactly the last two are please let me know. The badge in the center looks British with the crown in the center and the “C” insignia.

It's got too much going on. Greek style helmet, European style crown, crossed swords, 10 stars around the "C", 9 stars around the next ring, starburst, five petaled inner star and cross with a sunburst.

I'd guess it was the lower part of a convention badge for some Fraternal group like I.O.O.F. (?)

No marks or lettering on the back?

I did some more looking doing a google image search of the term 'vintage knights of columbus medal' and I did find an identical piece to your one in the middle, saying it was a knights of columbus service medal. The web site was pic click. However when I clicked it it brought up a page with hundreds and hundreds of fraternal items for sale and I could not find it again. The crossed flags are likely from the same organization
