Without question, these pins are the most salient relics of the second World War. Although these men and women never went into battle, their efforts not only ended the war, but shaped the entire future of warfare for the next two hundred years. This is an original sterling silver pin from a member of Oppenheimer's Manhattan Project. This example was obviously heavily worn based on the wear. It was purchased in a group of artifacts from a veteran that worked in Oak Ridge, Tennessee.
Made by the famous Whitehead and Hoag Company, authentic examples of these pins almost never come up for sale, and with good reason. They are usually cherished heirlooms of a much different time in our nation's history.
