Vintage Heinz Pickle Pin and Swifts Premium Ham Charm Advertising Lot 2 Pieces
Heinz & Swift's Premium
Vintage Advertising Pin and Charm Lot
Plastic, Small Scale, Mid-20th Century
This lot features two iconic pieces of American food industry advertising memorabilia: a classic Heinz pickle pin and a Swift's Premium Ham charm. These types of small promotional giveaways were staples of mid-20th-century marketing, often distributed at world's fairs, grocery store promotions, or through mail-in offers. Such items are highly collectible for those interested in vintage kitchenalia, corporate branding history, and mid-century ephemera.
• Includes one green Heinz pickle pin with embossed "HEINZ" lettering and metal pin back
• Includes one brown Swift's Premium Ham charm with embossed text and attached cord loop
• Durable molded plastic construction characteristic of vintage promotional trinkets
• Heinz pickle measures approximately 1.25 inches long; Swift's ham measures approximately 1.1 inches
Condition: The Heinz pickle pin shows minor surface wear and light darkening consistent with age; the metal pin on the reverse is intact. The Swift's Premium Ham charm shows more significant discoloration on the reverse side, though the embossed text on the front remains sharp and legible. The original cord on the ham charm shows fraying and age-related wear but remains attached to the metal loop. Both items are free from cracks or structural breaks.
