Labrador Retriever with Duck Pin – Pewter Lapel Pin, Made in USA

Renowned for its expertise in duck hunting, the Labrador Retriever is a symbol of strength, agility, and loyalty. Originating in Newfoundland, Canada, these dogs were initially bred to assist fishermen, but they have become unparalleled hunting companions, especially in retrieving waterfowl. Characterized by a dense, water-resistant coat, broad head, and strong, otter-like tail, Labradors are built to withstand challenging terrains and weather conditions. Their keen sense of smell and inherent love for water make them exceptional at tracking and retrieving game. Despite their athletic prowess, Labradors are incredibly friendly and sociable, thriving in family environments. They are particularly good with children and other pets, making them versatile household members. Labradors possess an abundance of energy, requiring regular exercise through walks, swimming, or playtime to maintain their physical and mental well-being. They are also known for their intelligence and trainability, excelling in obedience and agility tasks. Regular grooming and a balanced diet are essential for their health. The Labrador Retriever's dedication and friendly nature make it an ideal companion for active families and avid hunters alike.

Craft & construction

Built to stay put. Our pins have two posts and clutches which hold it flat and ensure a spin-free application wherever you display it. It solves a common pin complaint. The 1/4-inch steel tacks are long enough to pass through most fabrics, about 1/4 inch, yet short enough to sit flush. And each clutch seats into a small groove on the post with a firm, satisfying click — haptic feedback that tells you it's locked, and a detail cheaper pins skip.

Hand-painted, marine-grade finish. Each hand-painted piece is carefully painted by an artisan right in our studio in Poulsbo, WA. The proprietary multistep process includes priming each piece followed by meticulous painting by hand in acrylics with fine detail work to bring the item to life with incredible detail. The final step adds a coating of marine-grade epoxy — a hard, clear finish that protects the artwork so our product can be used on a boat, outside, or other conditions highly resistant to fading or wear.

Certified American pewter. The antiqued finish is completely safe to touch — and the craft behind it has been refined over three decades. Each batch of pewter that arrives at our shop in Poulsbo, WA from an American supplier comes with a lab test showing the material is lead free.

Ready to give. Every item arrives attached to a backing card and sealed in plastic — clean, protected, and presentable as a gift the moment it arrives.
