3 circa 1924 YMCA PIONEERS Pins - Bronze Pathfinder, Sterling Silver Trailblazer and 10K Gold Guide pins. Each pin has "PIONEERS" surrounded by the words "INTELLECTUAL", "SERVICE", "PHYSICAL" and "DEVOTIONAL".
An amazing complete set of the Pioneers rank pins from the 1920s.
The Bronze Pathfinder pin comes to market on occasion, while the Sterling Silver Trailblazer pin is extremely hard to find and the 10K Gold Guide pin is exceedingly rare. In researching the pins, I could find no evidence of the Sterling Silver Trailblazer pin, nor the 10K Gold Guide pin having ever come to any online marketplace over the last 15 years.
The Bronze Pathfinder pin is marked on the reverse "J. A. Meyers & Co. Los Angeles, PAT. Oct 14, 24". The Sterling Silver Trailblazer pin is marked "STERLING" on the reverse and the 10K Gold Guide pin is marked "MEYERS 10K" on the reverse. All 3 pins come with their original screw-backs.
Circa 1924.
The gold and silver pins measure about 5/8 inch in diameter, while the bronze pin measures slightly larger at 11/16 of an inch in diameter.
As shown in the listing photos the 10K gold pin without the screw-back weighs 2.6 grams and the Sterling Silver pin without the screw-back weighs 2.8 grams.
EXCELLENT condition, the screw-backs all attach easily to the back of the pins as designed. - Please view listing photos to best view detail and condition.
