Trevor:
Happy belated birthday- and thanks for the advice you've given me. I also have a 1914 pendant (15mm) marked "Linder, NYC". There currently is a management firm by the same name a few doors down on 14th Street- may be a coincidence.

Oh yeah, I see them listed in the yellow pages. Maybe I'll drop in with the stickpin and ask them if there is a relationship to the old company. The actual building at no. 19 E. 14th St. is now gone, replaced by a modern monstrosity that covers half the block. In other words, no. 7 E. 14th St. is in the exact same location as no. 19 used to be. So I suspect there may be some connection. It would be an interesting little local research project.
Just pics of drunken Swedes climbing the flaktower in Humbolthain, painting a "Big copper horse with attached Gerneral" in Blue and Yellow, setting some ants free in the Zoo Aqarium and riding the outside of Trams.
A perfectly normal weekend in a "temporary Prussians" life so to speak...
I don't know how I managed not to see this thread until now, but better late than never... Happy belated Birthday Trevor! I'm glad to hear you had a good one.
I assume this are early (pre-1917) WW1 era patriotic pieces for German-Americans? Any other ideas?
Nice pin Sascha! Yes, I think that is exactly what it is. As you know there was a very large community of German immigrants to the US, especially in the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th C.
One other thing I did for my 40th birthday is go to the post office... forgot about that one

Yes, I see you picked up my presents there. AWS and Godet, bought on the 29th of October... who else could they have been for?
Happy B Day belated. Very interesting pieces made in the US!
