THIS IS A SECONDS SALE PIN

This is a listing for flawed or imperfect enamel pins. The selection is dependent upon which designs have flawed units. Some flaws are more obvious than others, but all of these pins are still very wearable. Seconds Grades (B Grades) have been deemed less than "Standard Grade/A Grade" and may exhibit some of the following imperfections... 

• Discoloration on metal
• Dull or unpolished metal
• Noticeable scratches on metal
• Inaccurate artwork
• Noticeable scuffs
• Missing metal lines
• Scratches and small gouges

For more information, including the differences between a Standard and a Seconds grade pin, check out my Pin Grading Scale. Though this pin is a seconds quality, it is fully functional.

NOTE: This version of the Astrolabe pin does not feature a spinning middle plate.

THE DETAILS

This Astrolabe pin is a large 3″ piece set on a gold-plated metal featuring my artistic interpretation of an astrolabe. I styled this pin based on three historical Astrolabes. It is a decorative piece that would look great in a collection for space enthusiasts. This pin features four posts on the back for added stability because of the size, weight and balance of the piece. Due to the large size and delicate features of this item, each unit will be wrapped in a small sheet of bubble wrap and shipped in a sturdy padded mailer. International shipping may be more expensive than other items due to the weight of this piece.
