Description

This collection comprises an assortment of vintage lapel pins, brooches, and commemorative badges, presented alongside a wooden box and a woven textile. The pins are manufactured from varied materials including enamel-on-metal, die-cast metal, and plastic. Notable examples include Austrian travel souvenir pins for locations such as Mayrhofen, Gmunden, Kitzbühel, Salzburg, Innsbruck, Mondsee, and St. Wolfgang. Organisational and charity badges include the NSPCC, Marie Curie Cancer Care, and ARC. Other items of interest include a Plymouth Argyle Football Club shield, a 2018 remembrance poppy, a motor show badge, and a gold-toned ship pin for the Arab Defence Journal. Figural designs include animals such as a zebra, penguin, and robin, as well as a cricket bat. The textile is an Austrian Halltex cotton and linen woven piece in green and cream, depicting a couple in traditional folk-art attire surrounded by a decorative border with fringed edges. The small wooden box is hinged with a simple latch mechanism and features an unfinished interior.
Textile width: 16 inches.
