    ITEM DETAILS:
    I was unable to find additional information about the pin. A similar pin has a date stamp of 1919, but that date is not on this pin
    Imprinted on the back "MADE BY AMERICAN ART WORLD COSHOCTON OHIO. The pin measures 5/8" in diameter. There are many scratches on the pin. Please view the images for condition and ignore glare and reflections.
    History of American Art Works
    "The American Art Works started out as the Tuscarora Advertising Company which was a beer tray and sign manufacturer founded in 1895 in Coshocton, OH. In 1901 the Tuscarora Advertising Company and Standard Advertising Company merged to become Meek and Beach. In 1908 they change the name to The American Art Works. The American Art Works (AAW) became the best-known tray company thanks to its popular Coca-Cola trays. The AAW made at least 24 different full-sized Coke trays and vast numbers of advertising novelties. In 1926 The American Art Works alone produced 72 million pieces between advertising trays, signs, thermometer, calendars, and other various advertising pieces. The original factory building was eventually torn down in 1995."
