Description
A vintage military "sweetheart" locket, specifically featuring the insignia of the U.S. Army Air Corps or Army Air Forces. The oval-shaped locket has a propeller and wings insignia, a classic symbol that has been used by U.S. military aviation branches since the 1920s. This design is often associated with the era of World War II, when "sweetheart" jewelry was popular for loved ones to wear while military personnel were serving overseas. Lockets are traditionally worn to hold small mementos or photographs of loved ones, serving as a sentimental symbol of connection and memory. H: 12" Good condition.
