Original U.S. Post-WWII Bailey, Banks & Biddle Co. Sterling Paratrooper Wings with Limited Edition Certificate - No. 001/100
-
Original Item. One-of-a-Kind. Bailey Banks & Biddle was a retailer of jewelry and designer of US medals that was formed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1832. They have since become one of the most prolific and prestigious makers of medals, insignia, and more. At the turn of the century, Bailey Banks & Biddle was commissioned by the U.S. government to update the Great Seal of the United States; its design today remains the official version of the seal. The company also designed and made many of the military medals that are still used today, including the Congressional Medal of Honor, the Silver Star, the Bronze Star the Spanish Campaign Medal and the first 40,000 Purple Hearts awarded, as well as class rings for West Point and Annapolis.
This is a very interesting set of Sterling Paratrooper’s wings by Bailey, Banks & Biddle Co. which comes with a small certificate which denotes it as being No. 001 of a limited edition run of 100, but provides no information about the wings themselves. We believe this set to be Post-WWII, but we just aren’t sure when. It is marked on the back:
BB&B.
STERLING
The pin on the reverse is in fair working order, and the wings are a very nice set overall. A great set ready for further research and display.
