kyhistorian01 Posted January 10, 2015 Share #1 Posted January 10, 2015 I found these a long time ago at a flea market mixed in with jewelry, They appear to have been modified for use on a plaque or to glue in a scrapbook as they both have glue residue. Sad they had the pin backs taken off, but still nice for a display case and I only payed a buck each when I found them. Robert Front Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeK Posted January 11, 2015 Share #6 Posted January 11, 2015 I've read that Higgins was assigned the hull numbers 450-485, so this variation Higgins pin may be representative of all boats from that production run. Regards Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BROBS Posted January 11, 2015 Share #7 Posted January 11, 2015 That would make sense. Thanks for that info Mike. -Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
