I got my first pin back!

[subdude]

I acquired this small pin from an elderly woman that lived next door to me when I was a child (single digit years). I used to shovel her walks in the winter & mow the lawn in the summer. One year she handed this to me as a gift but my father in his infinite wisdom took it away & forbid me to touch it . Well I'm 39 pushing 40 & he finally decided I was old enough to have it! its been well over 30 years since I last touched it. I haven't been able to find any info about it or what its worth but it looks great on the wall next to my pachi. You can't really see the pins in the pictures because they are so thin but there are alot of them.

neat, thats a collectable from the 1933-34 Chicago world's fair.

I had a very large collection of items from that fair and a lot of other world's fairs, but, thats the first pinball one i've seen

I did a dumb thing about 30 years ago and had it all auctioned off
