    The dilemma is these pins are plentiful and ordinary. But, the older pins are marked 14K gold, and therefore are sold as scrap. It is sad really.

    The Pacific Telephone & Telegraph Company was formed around 1906 by combining Sunset Telephone & Telegraph, Oregon Telephone & Telegraph, and the Pacific States Telephone & Telegraph. The PT&T Co. held subsidiaries in Southern California Telephone Company and Bell Telephone Co. of Nevada. Later, Pacific Telephone controlled a division, Pacific Telephone Northwest.

    This is an older version of the pin, and it takes a careful eye to spot the unusual rope and loop at the top of a 1910 through 1921 bell.

    Enjoy!
