The most common brooches are soldier
And sailor
and they are pretty easy to find on etsy or eBay.
Buddy brooches don't stop there I've seen Cowboys, sombrero wearing figures
I hope to find him some friends in the future

Vintage Collectables: Buddies Brooches
Need a cute buddy? Then you might consider a 1940s Buddies Brooch. These adorable pins were popular during World War II. Girls would wear a soldier or sailor pin depending on what division of the military their sweet heart served in.
And cranberry manor on etsy has a darling bell hop boy.
I got my first buddy brooch from eBay, a sailor. His leg has a repaired crack so I was able to bargain and get a good deal.

Awesome find! I've been hunting for one or more of these charming novelty brooches for at least 15 years now. No in person luck, so I may have to splurge one day and purchase one online. Yours is terrific and made me smile ear-to-ear just seeing it.

I never heard of them - so cute! That last photo of you wearing your sailor brooch is lovely.
