The Golden Pin


I told a story awhile ago about being pleased with being able to enjoy the music, plays and operas at some of the coolest opera hall in Germany and France as a kid. The story basically ended with an old rich dowager pinning this pin on my little suit coat. It's value has been valued at $5000 dollars. To her was a throwaway fin but to our family it's a treasured family heirloom.

It's the front cover to King Crimson's Larks' Tongues in Aspic. Great album by the way. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larks%27_Tongues_in_Aspic

Must have been a common pin or maybe the old lady was a fan.
