That is an interesting pin, so what did it go for?
Sorry you didn't get it.

**Big Paul** · 3rd October 07, 04:35 PM

It went for 20.50 with 4.00 S/H...

Not a bad price, sorry it's not yours.

It would be easy to cheaply replicate that pin if you could get ahold of some deer antler. ;)

This is true, but it might be the antiquity of the pin that was so appealing in the first place.

Ok, so get some antler, make a pin, bury it in the back yard for 50 years and voila instant antiquity.

So, is there, like a date stamp? How do we know it has "antiquity?" Does/did it come with a certificate of authenticity?
