This anchor pin is marked 'Blackinton 1/20 10k GF. What that means is that it is 10 karat gold over copper or brass, not sure which. It measures 1 and 3/8ths inches tall and 1 inch side to side at the widest point. The front of the pin is in wonderful condition, so is the back with the exception of one very small tarnish spot.
I purchased it at an estate sale so I have very little info about it. There was a small tag that stated "circa early 1940s WWII era Navy Anchor Pin".
Although small, when packaged it will exceed the postal limit of 1/4 inch thick for standard envelope mailing. Delivery will be via USPS 1st Class Mail Parcel. Buyer to pay $5.75 delivery charges.
SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT SHIPPING CHARGES: Twice yearly, and again in November for the holiday season (so three times per year) the postal service increases shipping charges. This is what they call their "Delivering For America" plan in which they hope to become profitable. It's a 10 year plan that started in 2021, so we've got years to go with multiple price increases on shipping charges each year. I try to absorb the new charges and haven't increased my shipping charges in three years. This year unfortunately, I have to if I want to stay in business. I'll try to keep it reasonable and even absorb some of the increases when possible.
I do combine shipping on multiple items purchased as long as all items will safely fit into a single box or envelope. However, my web host is not set up to calculate multiple item shipping costs. At checkout, you will be charged full shipping price on each item purchased and I will refund the appropriate amount of overpayment. If you are uncomfortable with that, you can send me an email with your zip code and stating which items you'll be purchasing and I'll calculate the correct combined shipping charges and send you a custom invoice.
INTERNATIONAL PURCHASED: Sorry, I do not ship to locations outside of the United States.
All items in my listings come from either estate or garage sales. I do not know if they come from homes where smoking or pets were present. Unless otherwise stated, all items are sold in the same condition as when I obtained them.
