A second, less common clutch type found on some World War Two era insignia are Tinnerman clutches. These were invented by Albert H. Tinnerman (1879-1961), whose company made all kinds of spring steel fasteners for industrial applications. Some of the newer Tinnerman clutches are marked with individual numbers and have a silver finish.
