1990s Crayola Crayon Box Pin | Novelty Lapel Brooch | Mini Box with Molded Plastic Crayons | Bar Pin Back | 2"

The only box of crayons that never loses its yellow to the kid next to you.

This is a 1990s Crayola crayon box pin, a novelty lapel brooch made of plastic and printed paperboard with a metal bar pin back. It's a miniature version of the classic yellow and green Crayola box, with the rainbow-swoosh logo Crayola used in the late 1980s and 1990s, and five little molded plastic crayons poking out the top in red, orange, yellow, green and blue. It's a 3D piece, not a flat enamel pin, so it stands out on a jacket, tote or lanyard.

• Material: plastic and printed paperboard; metal bar pin back
• Brand: Crayola; back marked "Made in China"
• Era: 1990s, based on the logo and packaging style
• Size: about 2" tall x 1 1/4" wide x 1/4" deep (please see ruler photo)
• Brooch type: figural novelty lapel pin
• Closure: bar pin with C-catch

A fun little gift for a teacher, an art lover or anyone who still remembers the smell of a brand-new box on the first day of school. Pair it with our vintage McCormick spice box for more classic American packaging.

Condition

Good pre-owned condition. There's a small scuff and light edge wear on the green front near the lower right corner, a few light marks on the back, and light surface marks on the crayon tips (see close-up photos). The pin opens and closes as it should. As with everything in the shop, it's a used piece and may show light signs of wear.

Only one available. Once it's colored outside the lines and gone, it's gone.

Styling props shown in photos are not included.
