    I have been looking for exactly such a pin. Never found the right one. I want it because I am a journalist and a pin shaped like a laptop computer would just look bad.

    Not yet a quill, Bob, but if you know a silver craftsman this might make a good pattern.

    Not to mention wearing a fedora with a "Press" card in it would be a major fashion faux pas.

    Indeed! Maybe I could attach my press card to my Balmoral as a cap badge.
