Found these pins at an estate sale in Troy yesterday. Can anyone tell me something about these?

Wilbur Wright is on Canfield near Rosa Parks. It was a trade school, and as I recall, it housed the School of the Arts prior to their move into the fancier digs behind Orchestra Hall.

The old Wilbur Wright school has an owner who is currently planning to convert it to lofts.
