This pin comes from the 1988 Winter Games in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. According to the Coca-Cola Company's Pin Collector’s Guide of the 1988 Winter Olympic Games, this pin is one of the "Series III" pictogram pins, each of which depicts a different Winter Olympic sport. This pin often does not sell for the value that I believe it to be worth (I value it at $7.00 USD), probably because it is a generic and easily obtainable item. However, this good quality cloisonné, bordered on two sides by bands of color mirroring the colors of the Olympic rings, and bearing the official Calgary Olympic symbol is a nice addition to any pin collection. There were 20,200 of these pins manufactured.
