Vítkovice Steel

Step into the rich industrial history of Czechoslovakia with this authentic vintage stickpin from Vítkovice Steel Works, one of the most important steel and metallurgical plants in Central Europe.

This gold-tone circular pin, measuring approximately 1.5-2 cm in diameter, features an embossed design with the inscription "Vítkovice Steel Czechoslovakia", signifying its origins in one of the country's largest industrial enterprises. Likely produced between the 1940s and 1970s, this pin was awarded to employees, trade union members, or dignitaries visiting the Vítkovice Steel Works during the height of Czechoslovakia’s socialist-era industrial expansion.

The stickpin fastening was a common feature of mid-20th-century corporate and industrial badges, making this a genuine historical artifact from Eastern Bloc industry. The slight patina and signs of age add to its authenticity, making it a prized addition for collectors of Czech, Slovak, and Soviet-era memorabilia, industrial history artifacts, and vintage factory insignia.

This rare historical badge is presented in a protective case, making it a perfect collector’s piece or a unique gift for history enthusiasts and vintage pin collectors.
