NBC Pins. 

I have no idea how this lovely velour box o' pins came into my possession.

THROUGH THE YEARS - The National Broadcasting Company
Commemorating seventy years of broadcasting excellence. Top row, from left to right: 1943 - First TV logo, 1954 - Stylized xylophone and mallet, 1956 - First seen in living color, "The Bird" is an 11-feathered Peacock, 1959 - The animated logo, "The Snake," ran at the end of programs. Next row, from the left: 1975 - An abstract "N" featured red and blue trapezoids, 1980 - "The Proud N" added a modified 11-feathered Peacock, 1986 - The current logo, "The Peacock," is among the world's most recognized logos. NBC Historic Pin Set, Limited Edition 000502 of 10,000.

LATER: This certificate just fell out of the sleeve box. [Tap images to enlarge.]

STILL LATER: I do remember, however, that when the NBC Pages noticed the 1980 Peacock got neutered, we started calling him "The NBC Pea." 😉
