Society issues New Sweden 375th Jubilee Commemorative
The Swedish Colonial Society, as part of its celebration of the 375th Anniversary of the arrival of the first Swedes and Finns and the Founding of New Sweden Colony, has issued limited edition commemorative lapel pins.
The die struck and gold plated commemorative pins contain a stern image of Kalmar Nyckel surrounded by a blue enameled border with “Swedes and Finns in America” and “1638-2013.” The pins are available in either antique gold or gilt (shinny) gold finishes.
Perfect for Christmas stocking stuffers, graduation or other occasion gifts to children and grandchildren, the special commemorative pin is a quality item Society members will be proud to wear and keep as a treasured memento of the historic founding of New Sweden Colony.
Proceeds from the sale of the New Sweden 375th Commemorative benefits the Society’s Jubilee fund for Educational Initiatives and Observances.
