Here\'s a very cool old Chicago lot. It\'s a lot of 6 lapel pins from the early 1900s, three are brass, three are copper, and all read exactly the same; \"Wabash Av. Dept. Y.M.C.A.\" with the triangle logo in the center that reads, \"Spirit Mind Body.\" Each pin measures 11/16\" diameter and all of them are marked by the maker, \"Wm. Schridde Chicago.\" I was told that they refer to the Wabash Avenue YMCA in Chicago, which was founded in 1913, and these are thought to be from that time. The Wabash Avenue YMCA is a dedicated historic landmark in Chicago, and operates today, although closed for a time from the 1970s until its reopening in 2001. All of the lapel pins have a post at the back and a screw back that fits onto the post. Two of the pins are marked on the back of the screw back by the maker, \"Wm./William Schridde Chicago,\" while the rest are marked by the maker on the underside of the pin. In photo 4, you can see that there\'s a mark on the inside of the screw on pin back that reads, \"The Victory Patented.\" You can see that the pin back has \"teeth\" that will hold it to fabric. Four of the pin backs have these teeth, and there are two that do not, but they have a single \"tooth\" coming from the back of the pin, while the others to not. They are all in excellent condition, with patinas dark from age. They show green oxidation in spots, and some soil - they could use a good cleaning, I do not clean or mess with as found patina in any way. One is mounted onto a white paperboard - that\'s how it was when I purchased it. I could have pieced these out individually, but they have lived together so long - I didn\'t have the heart. To a good home only.

Customer Satisfaction is extremely important to me. If you receive an item and are not satisfied in any way, please contact me before leaving response.

Please ask if you have any questions, or feel free to inform me if you have any information about one of my listings. As with any of my items, if you ever need extra photos, let me know. My white stool, my rug and anything else that you see other than the item discussed are not included in the sale!

I’m happy to combine shipments for you. If you win an item and plan to offer on another, please hold to pay for the first item and request a combined shipping invoice once you’ve won the other item/s. I do ask that there be no more than 7 days from the purchase of the first item – I will invoice after 7 days as I cannot hold the items longer than that. Please know that some items cannot be combined, though, do to size, weight, or safety of the items. Most items set to ship in USPS FLAT RATE boxes; I cannot combine due to size restrictions. Please look at the shipping alternatives in the listings. I only mail USPS and pack in the best manner that we feel safe – I cannot change shipment methods after the close of an sale (i.e. rolling an old map to save money when I have it set to ship flat), especially if I feel the requested method is not safe. Again, I only ship USPS and charge actual cost to ship only. I ship within one business day of receipt of your payment, unless there’s a holiday that closes the post office, or I will notify you otherwise. As I shop for treasures on the weekends, I most often do not ship on Saturday.

Many of my items come from local rural estate sales and sales. They are coming right from the barn or attic to you - dust, cobwebs and all! I do not clean and polish before I sell – they are in the condition found, as you see in my photos, and I leave the patina exactly as it was when I bought the item. I do my best to photo and describe all thoroughly.

Please email me before offerding if you do not use PayPal, and we can discuss possible payment alternatives. Payment is due within 3 business days after close of sale.

With postage rates increasing regularly, I am shipping more and more items Parcel Select. Parcel Select travels by land or rail and the packages do not leave the regional post office until they fill up a bin going in the same direction (so the estimated delivery is truly only an estimate – not exact). The post office estimates 5-7 days, but it can go up higher, sometimes even 3-4 weeks in peak mailing times like the holidays. I always provide a tracking number, so you can see where your item is on any day.

Sales tax will be added for Illinois buyers.

…and thanks so much for looking, I appreciate having you as a customer!
