One of the true classic pins from the McKinley era. Back then, it was a good thing for factories to send billows of smoke into the atmosphere – that smoke meant prosperity. This 2 1/8 inch celluloid pin from 1900 pictures a smoking factory and a worker’s dinner pail. It has a couple ever so slight lamination marks at about 9 o’clock, overall is excellent.
