Description
The Jeweler's box is with the tie pin. I called the Jewelery Company and they said the tie pin was probably one given to employees for working at Ford or for some honor. The tie pin does not have the Jeweler's name engraved on it or a indication of gold content. The pin is in perfect condition and has the original box.

The new Fords got the now-famous "Ford Crest" which appeared on the division's vehicles for many decades in one form or another. In 1950, Ford also manufactured a lesser known
