Collectors often look for the less obvious designs from the centenary year, and a floral pin like this one is easy to display with other Lenin badges.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe source gives the years and the red carnation design but no size or material, so the photos are the best guide to the finish and the reverse side. Dated centenary pins like this are easy to catalog, and the flower motif gives them a softer, more decorative feel than the formal portrait versions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt makes a good gift for anyone interested in Soviet history, since the dates and the design explain themselves at a glance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eShipping\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarefully packed and shipped worldwide from Ukraine with a tracking number.
