This wonderful, large Marblehead Great Race pin comes from a cherished town tradition dating back decades. This particular pin dates from the 1970s and celebrates the town’s long-running community event known as The Marblehead Great Race—a spirited and good-natured competition typically involving homemade boats, themed costumes, and plenty of local pride. The pin is attractively framed in an 8×9-inch frame, making it a great piece for display.
Collectors increasingly find it hard to locate items like this, which offer a nostalgic glimpse into Marblehead’s small-town charm and community spirit. Whether you’re a lifelong resident, a seasonal visitor, or simply someone who appreciates quirky local history, this piece makes a fun and meaningful collectible.
