Associated Telephone Pins - Part 4

12/30/2025

Hello!

Sorry for the grainy photo, but here is a Lexington Telephone Company pin issued out of Lexington, Kentucky. This photo is a placeholder until later. At this point, I am missing the following from my collection for Associated Telephone:

1. Tri-State Associated
2. Arkansas Associated
3. Iowa State Telephone
4. Kansas State Telephone
5. Platte Valley Telephone Corp.
6. San Joaquin Associated

There are others under the Associated banner, but these are what I am told is out there! Happy New Year!

Another grainy photo. Still, here is an Indiana Associated Telephone Corporation pin. I am posting postcard of the headquarters building as well.

For whatever reason, these pins by Associated are my favorite. I have only seen one pin with a zircon mounted, and I have seen a couple with 5 stars. I have only read where the company issued the pins with up to 7 stars. Any information would help!

I have also read where pins were issued to Ashland Home Telephone and Delaware Valley Telephone. The search continues! Thank you for viewing!
