Circa 1970's Dallas Times Herald 5 year service pin in 10K gold and employee photo ID card. The pin is in the shape of a paper news folded in half with an embossed center embellishment that shows the number '5' and around it reads: "THE DALLAS TIMES HERALD SERVICE". The employee photo ID card reads: "TIMES HERALD PRINTING CO." across the top and below features the photo and signature of "DWIGHT KIERBOW 62 - 4274" - Dwight could be a nickname or middle name because the first name of signature on the card differs. The bottom of the card reads: "This card is for company identification purposes only for employees of Dallas Times Herald and KDFW - TV". The Dallas Times Herald was established in 1888 and during its publication years received three Pulitzer prizes for photography and two George Polk Awards.

8+ (Excellent): The service pin shows minor wear, however the photo ID is in (5+ (Fine-) condition as it has seen heavy use and one corner has separated, though the separation allows for a slim view of the bottom corner of the black and white photograph beneath.

As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
