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.

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.
