Pronghorn Antelope Head Pin M022

Often called the "Pronghorn Antelope" or simply "Antelope," the Pronghorn is an iconic North American mammal renowned for its incredible speed and striking appearance. These creatures are not true antelopes but are often referred to as such due to their resemblance. Pronghorns are the fastest land animals in North America, capable of reaching speeds of up to 60 miles per hour, earning them the nickname "American Cheetah." They inhabit the open plains and grasslands of North America, from Canada down to Mexico, sharing their habitat with various wildlife, including Bison and Mule Deer. Pronghorns possess distinctive white facial markings and unique, branching horns that set them apart from other ungulates. Their incredible speed and keen eyesight make them well-adapted to evading predators such as Coyotes and Mountain Lions. Pronghorns are a symbol of the American West and a testament to the remarkable adaptations of wildlife in their natural habitats.

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 Port Gamble, 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 Port Gamble, 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.
