Description :

Vintage Space Satellite Lapel Pins on Original Cardboard Display. 8 of original 9 pins present.

Hard plastic lapel pins w/tin backs are Micro-Lite Products from Putnam Products Co. of the US. 1957. The pins feature a Sputnik-inspired design w/opaque spheres and tiny spacemen inside. When string below "U.S. Space Satellite Patrol" sticker is pulled, sphere would light up revealing the spaceman within. We assume original batteries remain within, but are probably no longer working. Untested. Pins measure 2.25" H x 1.75" W.

Illustrated display card w/easel back has die-cut cardboard attachment which gives a three-dimensional feel to rocketing space satellite design. Measures 12" H  x 13" W. Display has some aging w/creases to die-cut portion and at corners. Upper right perforated corner w/price is missing. Celluloid sheet w/space graphics surrounding "satellite" has begun to peel, and there are small areas of flaking to images. 

Shipping available only through Fed Ex Pack & Ship
