This came up on eBay auction from a deceased estate collection. It caught my eye for a few reasons a) all the other items up for auction were not music related at all, and b) the obvious 'Iron Maid' - simply just worn down? - symmetry of it doesn't seem to add up for that to be the case?
I bid and won on it out of curiosity more than anything (there were a few people bidding on it), I tried to do a little research online to no avail. 'Poker B2' inscribed on the back of it. It's very worn and quite delicate. Rather small.
Does anyone have any ideas about this?

This ones an original pin from back in the day and yes... the quality of its production makes it hard to believe its official.

Hey, thanks for the info. Yes, a little hard to believe!

Hmm, the "en" could have snapped off, but it is a bit interesting as that would make "Maiden" off-centre in its alignment. I don't believe I've seen the name stylised like that before, but I could be wrong. Still a cool one for your collection!

Could you post a pic of the side where the βenβ should be?

I've edited the post to upload an image of the side of the letters.

Thanks. Just wanted to see if it showed signs that the metal had snapped.
It looks like this pin with the Iron Maid(en) added:

I love a good oddity.

Definitely does!
A good oddity indeed. Would love to know the personal history behind it, I enjoy a good mystery.
