Elco Enamel Travel Shield Charms
I've seen these vintage shield charms for years and always wondered what company manufactured them. They are souvenir colored shields set in a sterling silver frame. The mark on the back reads sterling and has a Trojan Soldier looking guy with a spear, and an armor shield with an E on it. I know there are other shapes with the same hallmark but I've seen mostly shields. So I did a little internet research, and found out the mark is that of the Elco Company.
