    Webb's City, Incorporated was one of the nation's first "one-stop-shop" department stores, established as a small drugstore in 1926, and closed by 1979.  It experienced explosive expansion, eventually covering ten city blocks, and has an interesting history within the history of civil rights and integration.  We have not located any other examples of these pins
    at recent auctions, besides our own (we also have this available in white gold, with a diamond).
