TerryB Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 (edited) Found these two auto pins in a box of stuff at a local estate sale. I think they are original. Material is seems to be cellulose. The Maxwell pin is the same on both sides. I guess they are both from the teens. Terry Edited May 23, 2016 by TerryB (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerryB Posted May 23, 2016 Author Share Posted May 23, 2016 One of the other items that came in the box was a Red Cross pin with a 1919 date on it. Seems to coincide with the car years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScarredKnightfan Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Can't say I've ever seen these, so cool in my book!

Terry Bond Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 (edited) Great find. The Maxwell pin is fairly common and shows up on Ebay. The Mitchell pin is quite scarce. They are celluloid and quite fragile so handle carefully and don't try to flex or bend them. I found a Mitchel pin at Hershey a few years ago in an antique mall during the Hershey meet actually. Was surprised to see it laying out on top of a vendors table on top of a piece of Mitchell sheet music, along with a small brass Mitchell script pin. Here are a few of my pins showing the Maxwell and Mitchell pins and script.. Edited May 30, 2016 by Terry Bond (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Bond Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 I'll try to get a few more pics up. Been looking for several years. Those script stickpins are my favorites but they are hard to find. Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
