Up for sale is a charming vintage two-piece novelty tie pin set from Rockefeller Center in New York City. The set consists of an arrow-shaped stick pin joined by a fine curb-link safety chain to a round souvenir medallion pin embossed with \"ROCKEFELLER CENTER NEW YORK\" encircling a raised relief image of the landmark tower rising above rays of sunlight. Each piece has its own separate pin catch, so the arrow pin and the medallion could be worn together as a matched set on a lapel, tie, or vest. This is a fun, wearable piece of New York City and Rockefeller Center history, likely dating from the mid-20th century when tie pins and stick pins were popular men\'s accessories and souvenir shops sold novelty jewelry commemorating the famous complex. It would make a great addition to a vintage jewelry, tie pin, or New York City souvenir collection, or could simply be worn as a distinctive conversation piece.
