Item Description
First is .75" tall beveled edge piece of celluloid like a frame with real photograph mounted at raised center. Exc. This and next similarly made figural star have stickpin reverses. Star photo is different than first photo and closer, but does have light age on the photo emulsion and star might have some color fade. VG. These two are 1940 or earlier in his career while the 7/8" golden plastic gumball charm is likely post WWII. Sports symbols around frame w/blank back. Exc. These three are Paul Muchinsky Collection Book Examples. Last item is Muchinsky, but not in book. A brass pin is soldered into the reverse shell of the front half of a head with features that can reasonably taken as those of Joe Louis. Pin is 1.5" long and head is a very tiny .5" tall, but very detailed. Mint.
