Gary_Ash Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 When we went to the ASC/SDC meet in Manitowoc, WI this year, I bought two Studebaker service pins from a vendor with a plan in mind. Each pin was for 30 years of service and my wife Jane and I are quickly approaching our 30th wedding anniversary. I took the pins to a local jeweler who removed the threaded stems from the backs of the pins and attached fittings for earrings. He also polished them up and replaced the small ruby that was missing from one pin. Jane is very happy with her new earrings. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John DePrey Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 I was going to show this to Janet, but didn't want to raise any current expectations... besides, I'd have to find 45 year pins. Nicely done! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8E45E Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 I'm sure she's given you 30 years of great service!! And mostly maintenance-free, I hope! Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary_Ash Posted January 5 Author Share Posted January 5 Like our old cars, you can only get to 30 years with lots of regular maintenance - and the occasional high-maintenance expenditures. 🤣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
