"Steampunk", this piece says it up front and clear AND it has a spinning propeller!
It is a great design; three smoke stacks, lots of detail & depth and the word Steampunk fits just right. It is the perfect, stylish, way to declare yourself... and, a great gift for your Steampunk friend. It comes in the gift box shown, ready for gifting.
This pin is solid pewter with a brass propeller and propeller shaft. It is a double tac pin (two tac pins on back). It measures about 2 in (5 cm) long by 1 1/2 in (3.8 cm) high by 9/16 in (1.5 cm) deep and comes with two grip backs.
This pin is an original design by Mark Eliot Schwabe, SteamSmith; his signature and © are on the back. This is a limited edition of 200. The number in the edition is also on the back (each is numbered separately, no two have the same number).
This piece has a SISTER SHIP. It does not have a propeller & is LOWER PRICE. See it here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/233984923/steampunk-pin-the-word-steampunk-front
