Plastic Push Pin Appraisal

Modern Electric Blue Plastic Push Pin

This item is a standard functional thumbtack or push pin featuring a vibrant, opaque electric blue plastic head. The head is molded in a classic rounded, slightly ovoid or domed shape, measuring approximately 1 centimeter in length. The surface is smooth with a semi-gloss finish, exhibiting a bright specular highlight that suggests a lack of significant surface scratches. Attached to the underside is a thin, tapered metal needle or shank, appearing to be made of polished steel or a similar nickel-plated alloy. The construction is mass-produced, typical of late 20th to early 21st-century office supplies. No visible maker's marks or stamps are present on the head, which is common for utilitarian stationery. The condition appears to be excellent and unused, with the metal pin straight and free of rust or oxidation. The item is shown partially inserted into a textured, dark gray or charcoal-colored surface, likely a foam board or bulletin board, casting a distinct drop shadow to its left.
