Item Description
First is designed as an over-sized safety pin 3.25” long. The club’s name and 53rd Street address are printed on the front right side. Tiniest bit of wear to the lettering but very minor. Second is a long watch chain made of 12 large links. One end has a spring-loaded clasp marked “Sterling” although this one piece is probably a later addition to the item. On the opposite end on another larger spring ring is an enamel on silvered brass key fob showing the club’s logo. Reverse of this has name of maker Bastian Bros. The chain and fob are almost certainly from the 1930s era. This piece is 14” long and the fob is 1-1/8” tall. From the Richard Merkin Collection. Comes with Hake's COA.
