Service Pins

Many of the pictures in this section are mine, but most were thieved from eBay without permission. If you find I've included one of your pictures, please let me know and I will remove it or give you credit, whichever you prefer.

Also, there's a lot I don't know about these pins. If you have a correction, an addition, or even a story about your service pins, please let me know. I am particularly interested in North American Aviation service pins.

A 'net-friendly source of service pins is my friend Marilyn. She has an incredible selection of aerospace pins as well as airlines and automotive. She sells at the Long Beach, CA Antiques Show at Veteran's Stadium (adjacent to Douglas Aircraft) the third Sunday of each month. She's on AOL as webbm1704. She also sells on eBay as flamingo1950.

The only other service pin collection on the web that I'm aware of belongs to Husker.
