General Auction Including Antiques, Collectables Gold & Silver (14% Buyers Commission)
A collection of three vintage gold-toned metal and enamel lapel pins related to McDonald’s, dating from the late 20th century. The collection includes a corporate culture pin featuring a red pennant inscribed VALUING PEOPLE MOST above a stylized crew member figure and a red square base with the golden arches logo and TM mark. The second item is a commemorative charity partnership pin for BBC Children in Need, featuring the golden arches logo and McDonald’s TM text on a red background, surmounted by a gold-toned silhouette of the Pudsey Bear mascot. This pin indicates a British promotional origin. The third item is an elongated, checkmark-shaped pin with dark green and lime green enamel detailing and a small M TM logo, likely associated with staff training or service milestones within the company. The pins are constructed from gold-toned base metal with hard and soft enamel finishes. Reverse attachments include a safety-pin style clasp and a pin stem.
Condition report:
The items are in good vintage condition. There is minor surface wear, including light scratches to the enamel surfaces. Expected tarnish and light oxidation are visible on the gold-toned metal edges and reverse sides, consistent with age and use. All fastening mechanisms appear present and functional.
