West German Dragon Boat Pin |

No idea what the idea might have been that inspired the creation of this one. It was West German (and I like dragons) so I bought it! Size is about 2 1/2″ by 2″.

Really great! Love the colors.
The pin back is exactly the same as the owl pin you posted. http://www.alleewillis.com/awmok/kitschenette/2012/02/22/west-german-owl-pin/ Was this the biggest manufacturer of West German pins? And are these vintage or more current?
All of the West German pins I have are marked in the same way as this. I have seen other West German jewelry marked differently but I have only picked up the ones like this, with MADE IN W GERMANY stamped into the pin clasp. I haven’t been able to find much information about manufacturers or age (maybe I’m searching in the wrong language?) but I have been under the impression that most are vintage… About only thing I know for sure is that they are pre-1989!
Beautiful!!!
I´m from germany and I´ve never seen that shippy before. I first thought it maybe was the Viking Ship of “Wickie” (cartoon), but I was wrong. I agree it must be pre-1989, otherwise it wouldn´t say west germany. I was just looking at your owl pin, which is totally gorgeous btw! That the needle on the back is exactly the same doesn´t neccessarily mean the whole pin comes from the same manufacturer, as most of the vintage pins here have the NEEDLE of this manufacturer. I guess it´s from the early 80´s and was either a limited club pin or one of those pins we once had here in our cornflakes packages :)
Thank you for the information BeeJay! :)
Scrumptious…
