Pin, Lapel |
Description |
A "35 Washington" lapel pin. The brass pin is divided into two sections connected by a fine chain which is attatched to the fasteners. The top section of the pin shows a General George Washington profile bust relief with the name "Washington" below it. On the back of the pin the innitials "M. J." are etched into the pin. The bottom pin is a small number "35" which hangs at a skewed angle. One possible theory for this pin is that it might be connected to Washington Highschool, however, Malcolm's graduation year should be 1938 or 1939 so the significance of the 35 remains a mystery. However, it does not seem likely that the pin is related to his time in the military, though that too is a possibility. |
