Unsigned but with classic D & E hallmarks, this diminutive yet dramatic pin says welcome. A classic symbol from the early days of whaling, when a ship returned home from exotic shores, it was quite the statement to receive a pineapple that would be proudly displayed, announcing the captain or sailor was back home and drop by to say hi. (In seafaring towns along the east coast having a classic door knocker in the shape of a pineapple is very popular to this day and age.) This pin with the puddling on the back, the very skinny prong-set navettes that are open-backed, combined with the brilliant aurora borealis chatons says it is a collectible D & E figural. In wonderful condition, this measures 2 inches from top to bottom and 1.5 inches at its widest.
