vintage ski badges

$36.00

Have you ever wanted a souvenir of somewhere you’ve never been? These vintage pins, found in Japan, might win you over with an unfamiliar club emblem, a mountain you’ve never skied or a particularly good joke. Finding the next one is part of the fun. They’d make an unexpected gift for the friend who loves Japan and heads straight for the flea markets.

This group includes a badge for the 1972 Sapporo Olympics, the first Winter Games held in Asia, and an I.S.K. membership badge from Tokyo’s Itabashi Ski Association. There’s a snowflake from Manza ski resort and a hexagonal mountain-and-skis design. The sad-faced Broken Bone Club completes the group, with a membership few would wish to earn. Sold individually.

Metal with enamel decoration. B has a screwback fastening. A, C, D and E have pin fastenings. Surface wear and tarnishing, with small marks to the enamel.

A: 1972 Olympics: 2.6 × 2.1 cm.
B: Mountain and skis: 3 × 3 cm.
C: I.S.K.: 2.4 cm.
D: Broken Bone Club: 1.2 cm.
E: Manza snowflake: 2.5 cm.

Sourced in Japan.
