Measuring 3” in diameter, the patent date indicates that this vintage, NEW ORLEANS MARDI GRAS pin back was manufactured in 1957, by Pictorial Productions, Inc. It features a vintage, EARLY HOLOGRAM IMAGE, a “moving” Court Jester or Clown, who in a gallant sweeping motion, removes his broad-rimmed hat and takes a grand bow. (Tilt pin slightly to make Jester move.) Colors: bright, buttery yellow background, jester in dark fuchsia, green and white, and lettering and metal pin back frame in red. Condition: quite nice for its 49 years of age with light, expected wear to red paint at rim edges and back. NOTE: The piece of tape is not part of the pin.
