A varied collection of approximately eleven vintage lapel and stick pins, crafted from metal with enamel accents. The lot includes a golden maple leaf pin, a 'FRIENDS SERVCIO' crest pin, a detailed silver-toned sculptural pin, and a silver-toned helmet or head-shaped pin. Flag pins represent the USA, Canada (two variations), and New Zealand. Also present are a blue wren, a black swan stick pin, and a golden Australian Olympic rings stick pin. These pins are typical of souvenir or commemorative items from the late 20th century.

Condition Report

General wear, surface scratching, and tarnishing are visible on many pins, consistent with age and use. The blue bird/eagle pin appears to have a broken or missing section.
