Drew's MACK TRUCK BULLDOGS
Many new
additions, AND better photos!
I worked* at Mack Trucks in Allentown, Pennsylvania from 1981 through 1990 - at the time, I collected the litte bulldog lapel pins when they came my way, but didn't save any but the "fire helmet" pin I wore when working at the Fire Truck plate in Macungie, PA.
I'm currently re-assembling my set of pins, and have most of the examples known so far - I've gotten most of the known types, and have uncovered a few I've never seen before, but am always looking for other varieties.
I also owned an International Motors employee pin (the pre-Mack Trucks name) - I've since lost this item, but it was a round yellow enamel on brass circular pin, with an rounded "I over M" logo seen on early Mack/IM trucks, buses and train cars. The pin was around an inch across, and if memory serves, had a three digit number stamped into it. If you have one of these for sale, please let me know!
Generally, pins shown are all around 1/3" to 1/2" across in size - many are shown in close-up shots. - Drewski

OK - I showed up every day - first as blueprint/copier, then a
changewriter, a few years of clerking at the Fire Truck plant,
and finally a few
final years are the World Headquarters in Allentown, PA as the
Engineering Librarian.
Other duties involved refrigerator
magnet accumulation, squash and hot pepper gardening in the
office,
and a large amount of cartooning.
