The National World War II Museum posted this interesting little item about Bakelite, an early form of plastic used in the 1930's-40's. I always associate Bakelite with antique radio and furniture knobs, but it appears the substance, which was not rationed during WW2, was widely used to make patriotic jewelry like the V for Victory pin above.
