Hi, here I have two WCS Club pin badges...found in my late father's possessions, I would really like to get more information about them.
They both have 10k stamped on the back, I'm not sure what that means...and one of the badges has a ruby coloured stone on it, again no idea what that signifies. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
An answer I posted for your other posting. The WCS Club was a sales promotional campaign by the Combined Insurance Company of America (CICA). WCS was W. Clement Stone (1902-2002), the founder of the company. He is supposed to have penned the quote "Success is achieved and maintained by those who try and keep trying." The pins (and there's a lot of different levels) were rewards for achieving various sales targets. There were Pearl, Ruby, Emerald and Diamond levels for various targets. The pins were only ever awarded to salespeople within the CICA. As far as I am aware, the "stones" are not real. Also, as far as I know, the pin reward system is no longer used.
