This is an estate find of a fun piece of advertising, in the form of a green pickle. It is a "Heinz 57" charm or pin, it has a small metal hoop on the top, and it appears someone used a bent straight pin to make it a lapel pin. My research found that these were probably made with molded gutta-percha, which was a plant based early plastic. It was probably made around 1890s-1910s. It is solid, and has a bit of weight to it for its size. It is in pretty good condition for its age. The letters of the word "Heinz" are impressed on one side, and the obverse has '57', as a nod to the company's claim of making 57 varieties of pickles and other condiments. The surface has some wear, which would be expected from its years of use and storage. There is a bit of yellowish color on the bottom, I am not sure what could have caused it, it looks like fading caused by exposure to some substance. It is about 1.25"L, the pin is also about 1.25"L. The metal hoop and the pin have age appropriate patina. The hoop is securely fastened into the pickle. Great little novelty advertising piece! As this is a vintage item, consideration should be made in regards to the condition due to age, wear, and/or use, storage or previous environment conditions. I have described the item as well as possible, including any flaws, and may look slightly different than the photos show due to lighting and quality of the camera. All dates are estimated unless marked. Selling 'As-Is/As-Found'. As I am liquidating an estate, everything must go, and returns will not be accepted. Refunds will only be issued if the item was damaged due to poor packaging for shipping, or lost, so every effort is made to get your item/s to you safely and intact! If it is my fault, then I will need photo documentation for my estate records, and a refund will be processed. If damage does occur, and it was caused by the poor handing of the post office, the buyer will have to present the damaged item and packaging with the invoice to their local postmaster to file a claim. They will not let me file a claim for the damages without the evidence. In this case, I won't issue a refund, as the USPS should handle their responsibility. I do re-use and recycle packaging materials and good boxes. Pet friendly and smoke free home. I do combine shipping on multiple items, and refund overages. *All photos and description are created and owned by me, no reproduction or use is permitted. Thank you very much for visiting my shop!
