This auction is for the picture Antique AHS 99 Pinback Lapel Pin...
* NOT SURE EXACTLY WHAT THIS IS OR WHERE IT COMES FROM...
* About all I know for certain is that it came to me with a collection of antique PINS & PINBACK BUTTONS; many of which are related to schools/educational institutions...
*SO... My best guess is that the HS in AHS means HIGH SCHOOL and that the 99 signals it being from 1899...
* Perhaps the key to solving the mystery is the marking on the back; but it is tiny and slightly obscured...
* All I can make out is 200 FOL??R WAY NY... I assume this to be an address in New York City; likely of either of the school or the maker...
* ALL MARKINGS PICTURED... NOT MUCH TO GO ON...
* NO IDEA ON MATERIALS... Solid, fairly heavy gold-tone metal...
* Please see pics for measurements and other details...
* Please ask any questions you might have BEFORE bidding.
