Thank you, but I have 99 to date complete already. I am trying to fill the gaps in the 80's and 90's but would like to go further back if possible.

I had them back into the seventies. I still have a 79. They were brass and the size of a nickel. The good old days when the pins weren't plastic and the prizes were worth turning heads in for.

I picked up a 78 a while ago. It would be interesting to find out what year they were first issued.

The are a pin for your hat or jacket with the year on. They are issued for turning in your fish head for a tagged fish. You also get a little info on the fish i.e.: where it was raised, how many and how many returned. You also get your name entered in a draw for prizes.
