Mica....how were these shipped? I ordered 2 pins....are the two boxes in a flat pack? or a cardboard box?  I have a locking mailbox the has a 2" "mouth" to accept small packages.  I'm on the road for another week so was wondering if the pins are sitting on my front porch....
Where are we going...and why am I in this Handbasket?

I'm guessing those settings will bring a nice Stanley tone. (?)

Yes! These are where Stan had some small stickers on this bass in 1987 as reference points.

They are in a small jewelry box, in a padded envelope. If you ordered 2 pins, they would be side by side in the envelope and should go right in the slot provided the box has room inside. I think I saw your package last night as I left, so I can intercept it and hold it for a few days if you like (and my memory is correct).

Sorry, Gary! My uncle comes in really early, and he took the big load to the post office before I arrived today. I'm still pretty sure it will fit in that mail slot, the jewelry boxes are only 1" high. They should be waiting for you in your mailbox upon your return.

Hi Mica, when is the best time to call you so I can finalise my order. I missed you last night (here) when I called. :-)

Since I was also born in 1969, it just makes sense to have a pin, too. This is my 50th anniversary, as well :)

Time for a Series? Wouldn't be nice?
Not just a bass, this is an Alembic!

Mica, a minor hiccup with my first order. I sent you and Mary an email yesterday. The 50th Anniversary pin is great! Anticipating the Brown Bass pin next.

I received mine.  It looks great on my 1981 Series I.

OK, I'm a little behind in my 50th Anniversary celebrations, but I'm working out the logistics - more on The Gathering(s) later.

Today, I'm leaking a couple of photos of a cool item that'll be available in our store later tonight for preorder, and will be shipping no later than the week of April 29th. There's a bit of packaging to do and readying for getting a huge pile of these out, but I had to share on the Alembic Club first. So, here's my 50th Anniversary enamel pin. Hope you love them!
Up on the store now.

Mica,
