Worn by Weber Reps in the 1960s. Pretty cool...

That logo is for Weber Marking Systems, right?

Maybe, maybe not.  Two sales reps for Weber-Stephen told me it is theirs.  Originally picked up at an estate sale in Rockford, IL.

Are you sure they're not messing with you? Do they happen to still have theirs?

The font looks like Weber marking systems instead of vintage Weber-Stephen. Not saying it isn't legit, just noticed the little difference. Still pretty cool.

I don't think so. Both said the same thing "a service pin". If I'm not mistaken Weber Marking was founded in 1980. This definetly has the characteristics of something older. One of my other hobbies is collecting men's antique jewelry. Never know for certain but it is interesting.
