A vintage Stratton tie pin on a red card, likely the original packaging or display card. Stratton was a well-known British company, particularly famous for its compact mirrors and other vanity items, and also produced jewellery and accessories like tie pins. The tie pin in the image appears to be gold-toned and has a round, possibly engraved or textured design. The card itself provides a backdrop that highlights the pin, and contains the Stratton brand name or logo. These pins were popular during the mid-20th century, particularly in the 1960s and 1970s. They often came in presentation boxes, sometimes with a tartan fabric finish. The pin is likely made of base metal with gold plating and the reverse of the pin is stamped with "IMITATION MADE IN ENGLAND," which was a Stratton trademark. on Slide Tie Pin "The Retainer" depicting seahorse with sea grasses in original box
