Offered is a matched lot of two vintage Cercle Français / French Club scholastic pins, both made for TUHS and decorated with detailed French and American landmark imagery.
Each primary pin features a blue enamel TUHS shield below a detailed Paris scene with the Eiffel Tower, French architecture, and “Cercle Français” wording. Both have a dangling Statue of Liberty element, a particularly fitting motif for a French Club because the Statue of Liberty was designed by French sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi and built in France with major involvement from Gustave Eiffel.[ +1]

• One marked gold-filled Cercle Français TUHS pin with attached Statue of Liberty drop
• One unmarked Cercle Français TUHS pin
• Detached Statue of Liberty/torch companion piece from the unmarked pin
