    Description

    GIRL SCOUT MEMBERSHIP PINS
    OLD EAGLE LOGO, 1942 TO 2000+
    There are many design
    variations
    of the Girl Scout membership pin.
    This listing includes all the early steel pins
    before they became magnetic.
    As we moved into the early 1950s, metal once again became necessary for the Korean War effort, and it is thought that the stamped pins with the upside down G hallmark are from that time (also Non-Magnetic.)  These are still considered type 6 because they had the same details as Type 5, except for the steel.  Hopefully to simplify, is the following:
    Type 6
    :
    1940s to 1950.
    Continued with the same details as Type 5 with 4 stars, 11 wing feathers and 7 distinct arrows. The difference is that
    the design shows through to the back
    and eventually it becomes magnetic. There are nine variations of Type 6.
    Not all are listed here.
    Type 7
    :  1980s. Still 4 stars, but the
    arrows become difficult to count.
    Instead of 11 wing feathers there
    are now only 9
    .
    Most important is that the outside edge of the trefoil
    becomes less and less prominent,
    and in some cases it is completely smooth to the edge.
    At some point, after 2000, but probably closer to 2010, the manufacturer’s Hallmark changes to a T and some of the design features of the type 5 become apparent.
    You can see nice definition on the neck and tail feathers, although there are now only 8 wing feathers.
    The legs are very straight instead of bent, and although the arrows are distinct with arrow-like tips, there is some odd spacing between the shaft and the tip.
    Girl Scouts will be happy to see the return of a distinctive bald eagle.
