Wilma Flintsone stick pin [Series X-The Promised Land]

Oh, it's just too obvious to do the Backwards quote, isn't it?

So, it seems, Mrs. Frederick Joseph Flintsone simply cannot resist making an appearance on Lister's leather jackets. This example, found on the garment's most recent edition, marks her third cameo to date.

In this particular instance, Wilma can be found beside the screen-right lapel, just beneath the Lady Luck patch. In fact, she is so tucked away, it can be difficult to see her on-screen even in HD, but I have it on good authority, the subtle icon has been present since 2012 or so, by this universe's calendar. The other example is of course the large mural that adorns the back of the jacket, as rendered by artist Matthew Thomas - inspired by the design found on the original costume.

The Promised Land
As before, this piece was kindly suggested by Jen Tate Cosplay (with another to follow), and had to be sourced from Croatia, due to its scarcity. I bet one turns up in Tipton, this time tomorrow.

The pin itself, known as a 'stick pin', is believed to be from the 1960s, and by its maker's mark on the reverse side was made in Amsterdam. The set was available in at least four colours - red, orange, green, and blue. You could get Fred, Barney, Wilma (obviously), Betty, Bamm-Bamm, Pebbles, and Dino.

I did briefly consider getting one of each to complete the set, but ultimately thought twice, as I was mostly thinking of Wilma.

... Drat.

Measures approximately 22mm in length, not counting the stick.
