1924 Stockholm Upu VIII Congress Enamel Pin.

If this is posted in the wrong forum, please excuse me.

I have this 1924 UPU VIII congres Stochholm enamel pin.

I have tried to find some information, but failed.

Does somebody out there have some information on this pin or upu pins from that era?

Thank you for your thoughts. Johan.

Picture shown is from a scan, The pin has a slight curve that is why the topside is slightly blurred.

Fascinating stuff, Johan.
thanks for posting.

Perhaps broaden your search using "Lapel Pin" and variations.

I don't know about this one, but I doubt it's just a souvenir. Custom-made high-quality enamelled pins like this were and still are often used as a quick ID to allow entrance to areas otherwise closed to the public (like the dining room(!) or meetings and conferences). I turned up a photo of 3 US delegates but it can't be blown up big enough to see what might be the pin worn by just one of the members.

Good hunting!

Thank you for your responses.

Thank you Don for the link that tells us all.

Well done, Don. Bravo!

Johan, that's a truly beautiful pin. Very modern ones aren't that well made anymore, like other things. To add some trivia, these were typically designed and made by jewelers, sometimes specializing in custom things.

I probably have erred in identifying this as enamelled. If there are semi-transparent/translucent colored sections, it was made by the cloisonné method using ground colored glass melted into place. Very permanent. That's probably very likely for something made circa 1924 and this pin has the look of that on closer examination.
