Vintage Hussite Czech Town Jiri George of Podebrady Travel Souvenier Pin Badge

  Product Description : Vintage Hussite Czech Town Jiri George of Podebrady Travel Souvenier Pin Badge

• A very pretty antique souvenier  pin badge from former Czechoslovakia.

  The badge face is 1.8cm high and has a long, stick pin style fastener to the rear.
  This is a collectible tourist souvenier pin from the town of Podebrady and features the city statue.

  These kinds of tourist pins were collected by tourists back in the communist days, when foreign travel was out of the question for most citizens.
  You would buy a pin and wear it as a souvenier of your visit.
  These days there are no towns or attractions that produce these pins, which is a shame and makes these old examples very special.

  The heraldic crests themselves are usually steeped in history, most of the towns and cities in the Bohemia and Moravian areas started appearing around 700 to 800 years ago and the crests tell of battles against the Swedish or the invading Turks, of defending angels and Christ's Holy Grail. The heraldic crests today remain the same but people tend to forget the origin and history of them.
