World's Fair Pin

I found this gem inside the box of campaign buttons.  It is sharp!  Could be a hat pin or a lapel pin.


This is the front side.



And this is the back.  (Click to read words.)

From what little information I could find on these pins, they were molded for you right at the Bakelite pavilion and came in a choice of colors.

The New York Public Library has a slide show on the Bakelite pavilion at the 1939 World's Fair.
