Hello,
I have been away for a while. Here is a pin issued by ITT (International Telephone & Telegraph). It is probably from the early 1950's.
After years of collecting, I have only seen 2 of these pins and I have both of them. I believe there were different colors - but I have one with a yellow band and this one with a green band.
Really neat and cool. Enjoy!
earthandmagneto, I have never seen this ITT pin before, a very nice 25 year service pin.
Hi ttomtucker,
Thank you. Yes, this ITT design is really cool. It displays telecommunications tying together the two hemispheres with telephone cables. The same design was painted ove the main entryway into the ITT headquarters in Manhattan. From what I know, the building is still there in New York with the same artwork - but now it is a school of some sort.
Anyway, these pins came in different colors but I have only seen green and yellow.
Thanks again!
