West Coast Telephone Pin

02/07/2025

This is a somewhat uncommon pin made of silver, baked enamel for, "West Coast Telephone." I have 3, but the company issued other designs. This type seems the most desirable. The company provided service along the coast of Northern California, Oregon, and parts of Washington state. I don't know much about this company, but the company sold to General Telephone (formerly Associated Telephone). General Telephone went on a buying spree through the 1950's and also bought California Water & Telephone Company and Southwestern States Telephone Company.

Enjoy!
