Vintage Fighting Sixth Wood Heart Brooch Pin Hand Painted Yellow Bow Flag 1.75\" For Sale

About This Piece & Design Context:

This striking 1.75-inch folk art brooch is a unique, hand-crafted piece of military homefront support memorabilia. Meticulously cut into a scalloped heart shape from natural wood, the front face features an entirely hand-painted, patriotic red, white, and blue background. The center is anchored by an illustrated yellow bow—the iconic symbol of support, remembrance, and hope for troops deployed overseas. The upper left curves are hand-inscribed with the phrase “Fighting Sixth” in crisp white lettering, likely dedicated to a service member deploying with a celebrated “Sixth” regiment or division (such as the 6th Marine Regiment or 6th Cavalry). It is an exceptional, highly individualized crossover artifact for collectors of military homefront history, patriotic Americana, and vintage hand-painted wood folk art jewelry.
