Us Eagle Pin Appraisal

Patriotic Eagle Mascot Enamel Pin

The item is a small, circular enamel pin, likely made of a base metal such as brass or copper with gold-tone plating for the outlines and raised sections. The pin features a caricature of a brown eagle, presumably a bald eagle, depicted as a mascot or cartoon character. The eagle is wearing a striped Uncle Sam-style top hat with red and white vertical stripes and a blue band, along with a matching red, white, and blue vest. It has a yellow beak and eyes. The eagle appears to be in motion, with its wings spread and legs extended as if running or flying forward. The background of the pin is divided into two main sections: an upper light blue portion and a lower dark red or maroon portion, separated by a light blue horizontal stripe. A white diagonal stripe crosses the lower dark red section. The overall design suggests a patriotic or sporting theme, possibly related to an event or organization. The enamel fill appears to be cloisonn -style with clear, distinct color separation within the raised metal outlines. There are no visible condition issues such as chips, cracks, or significant wear to the enamel or metal. The glossy finish suggests it is in good, possibly excellent, condition. The rear of the pin, including any maker's marks or fastening mechanisms, is not visible. Based on the style of the caricature and enamel work, this pin likely dates from the late 20th century, possibly 1980s or 1990s.
