1939 Worlds Fair Pin (NEW YORK)

[Jazdo]

Found this World's fair pin. Seems to be pewter roughly 2.25" by 1.75" in size. Have looked through a couple of World Fair sites but cannot find this one. Any one seen one like this or have any info would be appreciated.

Cool pin.

I just sold a 1939 World's Fair Kan-O-Seat at a garage sale this past weekend.

The left crossed flag is US.
If one could identify the right flag's country, that would help.
The pin might have been sold at a particular country's pavilion or exhibit.
Might be some version of the facist Italy or Spain flags with the crown.

I believe that the other flag may be the official orange & blue flag of the 1939 New York World's Fair.

I think you are right PBK because there is no flag that is a 3 vertical color combination of orange,blue,orange.And you can see a couple specs of orange on the far right stripe. Appreciate it

 

[WilliamBoyd]

You're right.
It looked like a crown to me but now it looks like "1939".

My nguess would be it's from the 1939 Worlds Fair.
Hope this helps,
