Description: Most probably a gold pressed stick pin made for important French officials. Red, white and blue ribbon (most always worn by French dignitaries and officials) attached to upper portion. Pin depicts the three most well known French architectural wonders, the Eiffel Tower, the Arch du Triumph, and the Eglise Sacre Couer in Monmartre. Below the horizontal horizon African images of an elephant, an Arab atop a camel and a lion, all in a desert landscape in the blazing sun. For 1931 Paris Exposition collectors, this rare pin differs from others in that it has a broad reference for the exhibition. Most other pins were created for specific pavilions which focused on a country's historical background. The Paris Colonial Exhibition or "Exposition coloniale internationale" was a six-month colonial exhibition held in Paris, France in 1931 that *attempted* to display the diverse cultures and immense resources of France's colonial possessions. It opened on May 6, 1931. The scale was enormous. It is estimated that 7 to 9 million visitors came from all over the world. Stickpin measures approximately 2 inches tall and one inch across.
