DELFTS windmill pins are SO collectible!
This one from around 1950 is in outstanding condition.
One prior owner, rarely worn.
Every single one of these pins is unique & handpainted by local artisans in Holland. The iconic windmill scenes in blue & white are immediately recognizable as Delfts.
About DELFTS: After WWII II, as Holland was rebuilding their infrastructure, many refugee artisans & craftsmen from Eastern Europe found their skills in demand.
But as the rebuilding process slowed, many artisans found their jobs disappearing. However, they also discovered that American soldiers were returning to Europe to show their wives the places they had seen during the war.
The Dutch found that they could solve the problem of too many artisans but too few jobs by taking advantage of the new tourism industry. They began creating items specifically for the tourist trade..like these pins that are evocative of Dutch life.
DIMENSIONS: about 7/8” diameter
Arrives cleaned and gift boxed.
