Early Apple Computer employee “Croix de Apple” pin dating to the late 1970s, early 1980s. The bronze-tone pin, 9 gm, 19 mm x 38 mm, features an enamel rainbow ribbon design redolent of Apple’s long-running (1977-1998) logo, which is set above a medallion with the iconic Apple emblem and raised text, “Croix De Apple.” In fine condition, with a couple of trivial marks. Apple made two versions of this pin to reward both employees and subcontractors for their exceptional service; this reward program was discontinued in 1982.
