Unparalleled Craftsmanship in Fine Pewter

Hand-cast from premium fine pewter, this ornament embodies the same relentless excellence that powers every Purdue breakthrough. Pewter’s tarnish-resistant, silver-like brilliance keeps your Boilermaker pride gleaming for generations. Each piece is precision-molded to showcase vivid details on the front side.

• Front Side: The legendary Purdue Pete hammer raised, muscles flexed stands in dynamic relief, framed by the bold Slanted P. The university’s founding year (1869) is subtly engraved below, encircled by the proud “Boiler Up!” chant and delicate locomotive wheel accents, nodding to the university’s railroad roots and the heartbeat of State Street.

Measuring approximately 3 inches in diameter and weighing under 2 ounces, this ornament balances bold presence with lightweight versatility. Over time, pewter develops a soft natural patina, adding vintage Lafayette character that enhances the crisp, fearless details.

Versatile Display Options with Included Satin Ribbon

Ready to hang with a luxurious satin ribbon in Purdue’s signature black and old gold, pre-looped at approximately 8 inches long. The ribbon’s silky finish perfectly complements the pewter’s glow. Display your Boiler pride in endless ways:
