The Pin-up Girls of Yank, The Army Weekly 1944 |
|
Yank, the Army Weekly was a military publication sold to deployed soldiers during World War II. To boost soldiers' morale, each issue contained a pin-up girl. These lovely ladies were some of the most famous actresses, models, and dancers of their time... |
How much is a WWII pacific star worth?
I bought a gold-plated pacific star in a military antique store. The ribbon is wrapped around (and glued to) a piece of bristal board and a pin is also attached to the back. Anyway... i paid about seventy-five dollars (canadian) for it, and i was wondering... did i get ripped off? Does the fact that its previous owner got it gold-plated mean that its worth less? Should I try to remove the backing?
There are lots of reproduction medals out there. Ebay lists these at less than $20 US. The authentic ones go for a lot more - up to a few hundred US. If yours is real it sounds like you did okay... but I have *no clue* what gold plating would do to the value.
