Vintage "SCREW OSCAR" Yellow Gold Plated Tie Clip, Disgruntled Actors Protest

Description

Please examine photos. They are THIS item and are part of the description. I do not use stock photos or photos of other people’s items.
This is an interesting piece of Academy Awards/Oscar History, date unknown. It is a well made 1 1/4" tie clip in a yellow gold plated cross hatch design. Affixed on the front is a 1 1/4" tall Oscar statue. On the back of the clip there is a 3/4" screw. At a Red Carpet collectables site they show a Screw Oscar lapel pin, probably from the same era/"campaign", date unknown, all sold out. This is the only one I have. Who knows what disgruntled actor might have worn this? It does show a small bit of wear, on Oscar, so maybe worn Screw out!
