<p>[QUOTE="Barbara W. Preston, post: 4415218, member: 13943"]When the "Nicholas and Alexandria" exhibition was do the rounds of several cities in the US, the gift shop sold pins like the one you have. I was a guide for the exhibition in Mobile and purchased several of them myself. Most of the scenes painted on them were about Russian folklore or fairy tales.Some were signed and some were not. Most of them had safety pins just like the one on your pin. I have given several away as gifts along with the story that went with each pin. The pins look wonderful on coat lapels and women's dresses. They usually attack attention and the person owning the pin can then tell the story represented by on the pin. You should hold your as a special treasure.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
