This pin from the 1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville, France is one of my favorite all-time pins. The rooster is the unofficial mascot of France, and here he has taken up ice hockey and is surrounded by the flags of each of the nations that participated in the 1992 Olympic hockey tournament. This pin took me three attempts to obtain because the first two pins I purchased over the internet each arrived in damaged condition. You do not often find this pin on the internet, and I have seen it sell for anywhere between $9.00 and $40.00 USD.
