The red star and hammer and sickle are among the most recognized symbols of the period and are the first things many collectors look for. Badges like this one are small enough to keep in a frame, a tray or a collector's album, and they make a clear, easy-to-understand introduction to Soviet phaleristics. Collectors of Soviet labor awards often add inexpensive enamel pins like this to a display of larger medals, since the same red star and hammer and sickle imagery ties the pieces together. Please study the photographs to judge the enamel color and the sharpness of the design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eShipping\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarefully packed and shipped worldwide from Ukraine with a tracking number.
