Vintage General System (GTE) 10-Year Service Award Pin

General System (General Telephone & Electronics / GTE)

Award Level: 10 Years of Service (indicated by the two stars)

Material: Stamped "10K EMBLEM" (The enameled front plate and raised telephone are solid 10K gold; the back pin post and internal rivets are base metal, as is standard for these awards).

Total Gross Weight: 1.964 grams

Hallmarks: "10K EMBLEM" alongside a vintage diamond maker's mark cartouche.

Condition:

Good vintage condition with beautiful enamel intact. Please note: As is common with these multi-piece vintage cold-connected awards, one of the internal rivets holding the raised telephone has a tiny amount of play. If you press on the phone, it makes a slight "clicking" sound. The emblem is completely secure and will not fall off, but is mentioned for full accuracy. There is light surface wear to the gold consistent with age and typical use. Please review all macro photos for exact condition and hallmark details.

The amount of gold in the emblem is significant. The enamel inlay is very thin.
