This magical and rare celluloid pin is most likely from the opening of Luna Park in 1903. Unusually large-sized, it measures 4" in diameter and once had a stand, rather than a pin on the verso. Luna Park was a famous amusement park that was one of the three original iconic large parks built on Coney Island, the other two being Steeplechase Park and Dreamland. The park was destroyed by a fire in 1944 and never rebuilt.
