Origin[]
This type of pin was first used in the U.S. by the Air Service as an officer collar insignia. It was unique at the time for having wing indentations on the back instead of being flat. It was used during the time of World War I.
Effects[]
When the user pins the artifact to his/her clothing and leaps into the air the propeller on the pin will spin,briefly grants him/her the power of flight. Thankfully the pin's powers wane gradually instead of suddenly, preventing the user from dropping out of the air. A word of warning, prolonged usage may result in a craving of birdseed.
Collection[]
Collected by Hugo Miller from the home of a retired WW1 pilot. The veteran's grandson was pretending to be a fighter-pilot wearing his grandpa's old goggles, scarf, and pin. When he inexplicably flew onto the roof he clung to the tv antenna and screamed for help. Hugo collected the artifact in the ensuing chaos. Usage by other agents lead to the discovery of the side-effect.
