I found the most interesting and informative website today called http://www.vintagegirlscout.com/. They seem to feature every girl scout pin ever made including great photos, extreme details, and specific dating of each. I have seen many vintage/jewelry websites over the last month while conducting research for this blog, and this site is one of the best. I wish all the jewelry I researched was featured on a site like this!
So, this rare pin was made from 1943 thru 1945 and was made for unofficial girl scout wear. It was often mistakenly referred to as a "silk pin," but is actually made of rayon with a metal backing. These types of girl scout pins are rarely found in such good condition as the material is often snagged and faded, or the backs rusted.
Feel free to contact me if you are interested in purchasing this piece. Questions, comments, and additional information are always appreciated. My online shop on http://www.ebay.com/ is coming soon.
