The 1932 Bicentennial - red, white and blue jewelry

I recently ran across some ads for "bicentennial" celebration jewelry in patriotic themes and red, white and blue color schemes. Not so unusual except that the ads were from 1932! Thinking about the celebration here in the US in 1976, celebrating the 200th anniversary of the birth of our nation, I wondered what the 1932 bicentennial was. It turns out it was the 200th anniversary of the birth of George Washington and there were celebrations throughout the year. Below is an example of an ad from 1932 showing some of the jewelry created in the bicentennial theme.
