Description
If I'm reading correctly, the Patent dates shown on the back read October 18, 1892, and March 7, 1893, making this pin one of the earliest pins produced by The Whitehead & Hoag Co, which was founded in 1892.If anyone can tell me the significance of the 2 overlapping flags, even if you're not interested in purchasing the pin, please message me.
Lots of defects on this pin. You can see a significant stain plus a lot of loose glitter inside. One side of the safety pin needs re-soldered. The wording below the flags is almost completely faded away. Other defects can be found in the photos.
