Three Yellow Jacket Scatter Pins

SOLD

Like their real life counterparts, this trio of yellow jacket pins will cause a buzz wherever you take them. All are made of stamped gold tone metal with yellow and red textured coating on two and red and navy blue paint on the third. They have clear Lucite wings and measure 1" long by 1" wide (wing tip to wing tip). The red and yellow coated are marked "Made in Korea", while the red/navy is unmarked. The yellow and red/navy are in excellent vintage condition. The red coated is very good, with the exception of the latch missing on its safety clasp pin back. It is still wearable as a *c* clasp but I am pricing them accordingly (as two pins with the third free). Are you wild about wasps?
