Vintage Pioneer Life Insurance Company Enamel Anniversary Pin

This is a small commemorative lapel pin made of gold-tone metal and colored hard enamel. The pin features a stylized, flower-like design where the bloom is shaped like an open hand in a lavender or light purple color, containing a red heart in the center. At the base of the 'flower,' two green leaves curve upward, bearing the text 'SINCE' on the left and '1967' on the right in gold lettering. Below the leaves is a horizontal gold-tone banner with the word 'PIONEER' embossed in block capitals. The construction utilizes the cloisonné style, with raised metal borders separating the distinct fields of color. The overall dimensions are approximately 0.75 to 1 inch in height. The condition appears excellent with no visible chips to the enamel, though minor surface scratches may be present consistent with age. This item was likely produced as an employee service award or a promotional piece for the Pioneer Life Insurance Company, celebrating its founding in 1967. The craftsmanship is typical for corporate jewelry of the late 20th century, using durable materials meant for regular wear on a lapel or lanyard. The reverse side, though not visible, likely features a standard butterfly clutch or tack pin mounting.
