civil ss pin and party eagle

[Doug Kenwright]

Hoffstatter type 1 reverse

Please note that none of the numbers are over 5 digits, and some are very early 4 digit numbers..these are some of the earliest numbered pins..i have never seen a type 1 with a six digit number.as well, it is not the case that all of these were stamped the same, some are very uniform in their number application, and do not show evidence of the square surround of the punch itself..also note the uniformity of the numbers used on these pins, most noticeably the 3's..
