Description

Old advertising pin representing the famous Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco, identifiable by its design in the shape of a ship's steering wheel. On the visible side, the pin features a dominant green color, encircled by a shiny golden border. The center of the pin features a stylized red crab, surrounded by the golden inscription "FISHERMAN'S WHARF OF SAN FRANCISCO" on a light green background.

The shape of the pin evokes a ship's wheel with eight spokes, each branch highlighted by a golden border. The whole exudes a retro style typical of American tourist souvenirs from past decades, with clean graphics, bold colors, and smooth enamel. No other pattern, logo, or number is visible on the presented side.

The piece has an enameled appearance with golden outlines. The main colors are light green, red, and gold, providing a sharp contrast and good readability to the whole. The golden typography, in capital letters, remains perfectly legible around the edge.

This pin recalls the souvenirs sold on the San Francisco docks, famous for its fishing and seafood activities. No details are visible regarding the attachment system or the finish of the back.

The pin is presented on a wooden stand with a natural background, without any other visible accessories or packaging.
