Curling Pins
Curling Pins
If a bonspiel (curling tournament) has a trophy, odds are you don't get to take it home with you when you win. Instead, winners' names are typically engraved on a trophy that stays put, while the players get to take home medals in the form of a pin. Curling clubs also have their own logo pins made for their members to trade with players from other clubs at bonspiels.
I've been winning and swapping pins for almost as long as I've been curling. It's always fun to see how a club will represent itself or its bonspiel in pin form. Below is a good chunk of the pins in my collection.
