Silver 1911 St. Luke's Hospital (New York City) Nursing Pin by Schumann & Sons

This is a circa 1911 nursing pin from St. Luke's Hospital of New York City by Schumann & Sons. The St. Luke's Hospital School of Nursing was incorporated in 1898, just over a half century after the birth of St. Luke's Hospital (now St. Luke's-Roosevelt) itself. The pin is in silver with a white enameled cross at its center.

Circa 1911.

Approximately 15/16" in diameter.

Silver, enamel.

Horizontal T-style pin with C catch.

7+ (Very Fine+): The pin shows some small areas of light to medium wear and tarnish with all enamel intact.
