HUGE *RARE* VINTAGE ELZAC WWII RED CROSS NURSE NUN LUCITE CERAMIC PATRIOTIC PIN

Description

Huge 3-1/4" (just a teensy fraction under) face pin by Elzac
This rarity portrays a
Red Cross
nurse from the WWII era. Her "chin strap" makes her appear more as a nurse in the religious sisterhood.
Her flamboyant sapphire blue Lucite headpiece is a classic Elzac touch and in one of the most desirable of all its Lucite rainbow.
The combination of
red
, white and blue also gives her the bonus of a patriotic accent.
She is in very good condition. The ceramic has the typical foxing. The enameled red cross is original and un-retouched, with tiny amount of loss. It's a brilliant Elliot Handler design. (There is no text on her lovely face in real life, it goes without saying.)
