1939 NY World’s Fair Trylon & Perisphere Pin – Original Minimalist Design

This is an authentic 1939 New York World’s Fair lapel pin, featuring a sleek minimalist Trylon & Perisphere design. These simplified geometric pins were sold on the fairgrounds and are among the harder-to-find original variants.

The pin is gold-tone metal and retains its smooth, streamlined Art Deco form that reflects the fair’s futuristic “World of Tomorrow” theme. It comes in its protective sleeve, as photographed.
