"1939 World's Fair" Wooden Pin -- this piece was supposedly purchased by its original owner at the 1939
World's Fair. Someone (it's owner, perhaps) wrote in pencil on the back, "Worlds Fair
1939" and a couple of initials (that look like a contraction of "JP"). The
pin itself is in excellent shape. The hanging strings are supposed to look like leather,
but I think they're "sueded" fabric. Pin is about 2-1/4" high. $45 |
