<x-flowed>I have one of the corner stone pins as a replica. They were mostly given 
to prominent guests at the corner stone factory foundation ceremony on 
May 19th, 1938.

There was an article on the corner stone pins in VW Trends many years 
ago, probably around 1994-96. It also told the readers how to identify 
the real ones from repros.
