  I got this at a thrift store for $0.97. It’s 10k Gold. Not sure about the stones.
  
  Anyone have any idea what this emblem is, or what it means? If so, what do the stones signify?
  
  I googled the cropped image of the little logo or whatever and couldn’t find anything relevant.
  
  Happy listing folks and thanks for looking! 🙂

  I can’t find the logo either, but I think you might be looking at it wrong. I think it’s something to do with space or flight. I found a few NASA logos that are very similar (especially for the Challenger), so perhaps it’s a commemorative NASA mission logo?

  ETA: Aaaaaand… just to add to your search headache, the USSR has space commemorative pins too!

  When you turn the pin with the stones on top it looks like a riding circle, riding crop and a boot. Have you tried equestrian related companies or organizations? The stones look like a service pin. Emeralds and diamond on 14k gold.

  Ryanne’s comment pinged something in my brain. I think it’s probably a McDonnell Douglas years of service pin.

    Yes, it looks like McDonnell Douglas to me too. My Dad retired from there. By then it was McDonnell Boeing. Try searching those logos. Probablt 25 year pins. Maybe someone in the space program. My Dad met all the early space heroes you saw in The Right Stuff. I think that’s why my son went to the AF Academy and became an F-15 pilot–a plane my Dad was involved in developing. I think you have the pin sideways.

  OMG you guys are amazing! I’m just now seeing this!
  
  It’s like I’ll get forum emails a few times and assume it’s working, then I won’t. Makes me sad 🙁
  
  Way to go!! I seriously couldn’t have figured this out without you all!!
  YAY! thanks!

    I too do not get all responses to various Forum topics. I have to go to each topic and subscribe to each and everyone, only then will I get the replies to that specific topic thread.
    
    So Linda and Amatino were right on it. Here are others from Worthpoint. Maybe the variance in price may have to do with the type of stones in it. Several are shown on this page. Like Linda said, different type of service pins for varying years of service and each was different. Maybe 3 diamonds would be like a 30 year service award pin and go for more money or also maybe the metal type and or gold content vs. bronze alloy or silver?? Just a guess.
