Item Description
Unlisted in Hake. 5" tall with vertical stickpin reverse and paper seal of the Oregon maker Irwin Hodson. Fleet Week is held in conjunction with the Portland Rose Festival in early June. While this piece is undated it is from the 1928-1932 era. Perhaps Hoover was making a personal appearance at this event although we have not be able to document that. NM and the only example we've seen.
