This nice addition to an Olympic hockey pin collection comes from the 1972 Winter Olympics in Sapporo, Japan. It originated from the Soviet Union and looks very much like a plastic encased postage stamp with a safety pin fastener attached to the back of the plastic casing. The unusual parallelogram shape, however, leads me to believe it is not a postage stamp. Either way, it is a colorful and rare pin. I would put the value on this pin at $6.00 USD, but I have seen it sell for up to $12.00 USD.
