Tatura Irrigation & Wartime Camps Museum
Decorative object - Brooch, Metal, 1943-1945
Else Oertel was a German internee in Camp 3A from 1940-1945. The penny-brooch is an example of the ingenuity of the internees in making use of anything at hand & repurposing it for much more than originally intended. Else's daughter, Else-Lore Hukins donated the item. Says Else-Lore of the brooch: "Jewellery was made out of available metals. Pennies made a bright brooch and especially interesting if it featured the current year it was given".Brooch fashioned from Australian 1943 penny. Penny has a safety pin soldered to the reverse, for use as a brooch.tatura, ww2, camp 3, internment, internee camps, numismatics, coins, costume, accessory, jewellery -
