Honor one of the most recognizable images in American history with this enamel pin inspired by Lunch atop a Skyscraper, the legendary 1932 photograph taken during the construction of Rockefeller Center.

This large-format soft enamel pin captures the unforgettable scene of 11 ironworkers casually sharing lunch 840 feet above Manhattan—an enduring symbol of bravery, industry, and New York City spirit.

A striking collectible for history lovers, NYC fans, and enamel pin enthusiasts, it’s designed to stand out on jackets, bags, boards, and display cases.

“Lunch atop a Skyscraper” (New York Construction Workers Lunching on a Crossbeam) is an iconic photograph taken atop the ironwork of 30 Rockefeller Plaza, during the construction of the Rockefeller Center, in Manhattan, New York City, United States. 

The photograph depicts 11 men eating lunch, seated on a girder with their feet dangling 840 feet (260 meters) above the New York City streets. The photograph was taken on September 20, 1932, on the 69th floor of the RCA Building during the last months of construction.

According to archivists, the photograph was in fact prearranged. Although the photograph shows real ironworkers, it is believed that the moment was staged by Rockefeller Center to promote its new skyscraper.
