Set of 4 - Chrysler Pentastar Lapel, Hat, Vest, Jacket Pins & 2 MOPAR® Pens- BN

Description

In September 1962, Chrysler adopted a logo named Pentastar, made of five triangles arranged so their bases formed the sides of a pentagon.  The gaps in between the triangles formed a star in the middle of the pentagon. The Pentastar was simple and easily recognizable, even on revolving signs, and was not tied to any particular automotive styling feature as had been the previous Forward Look logo.  Because the symbol contained no text, it facilitated Chrysler's expansion in international markets.  The Pentastar was extensively used on dealer signage, advertisements, and promotional brochures, as well as on Chrysler products themselves.

is a problem(Blue & White Pentastar Pin - photo #4) with many collectible pins. Unfortunately, there is nothing that can be done in most cases, since the yellowing is caused by chemical changes in the clear substance, whether it is epoxy, acrylic or a different material.
