Celluloid Pins: Marked Occupied Japan. This dates them around 1948.

For additional reference see The Collector's Encyclopedia of Occupied Japan, 4th Series, 1990, Gene Florence, Page 75 and Plastic Jewelry, 3rd Edition, 1996, Kelley and Schiffer, Pages 81 and 118.

These pins were hand painted c.1948 and each one varies slightly. I will ship one as close to the photo as possible. For example, due to the hand painting some of the bow dots may be in slightly different positions. All pins are in excellent condition.
