Mopar Evolution of Logo Lapel Pin Collector Set

This is a commemorative Mopar 'Master Parts' collector display case containing ten lapel pins that trace the chronological evolution of the brand's logo. The set is housed in a rectangular black display tray, possibly made of high-density plastic or coated wood, featuring recessed slots for each pin. At the top left, 'Master Parts' is printed in a bold, stylized white typeface. The logos represent various eras of Chrysler Corporation's parts division, starting with a circular 'DPCD' (Dodge-Plymouth-Chrysler-DeSoto) design from 1933-1936 and progressing through various yellow, red, white, and blue iterations. Notable designs include the iconic 'Omega' Mopar logo from 1964-1971 and the Chrysler Pentastar branding seen in the late 20th-century logos. Each pin appears to be enamel-on-metal with vibrant colors including yellow, deep blue, bright red, and white. Below each pin is a white label indicating the specific year range of that logo's use. The collection is in excellent condition, showing minimal signs of wear or oxidation on the pins themselves. The display board shows slight surface dust and edge wear consistent with age and storage. This set likely dates to the late 1990s or early 2000s, designed as a promotional item for dealerships or a collectible for automotive enthusiasts. The craftsmanship of the pins shows clean lines and professional enameling, characteristic of factory-commissioned corporate merchandise.
