Hi,
Lisa Frank is an artist who did a series of Betty Boop pins in 1979 (black/white) and then another series in color in 1980. This pin is part of that second series. The label is "BB5". These were reprinted again in the mid-1980s, some had ©KFS added to the front. Lisa Frank also did a series of stickers, some that matched the pins.

These are nice to find today, not particularly valuable, just good collector's pieces.

Hope that helps.

Interesting, Hakes Americana just sold one of these in their last auction! It went for $60. You never know. .. .

Here's the link if you are interested in looking:

They had an estimated value of $25-$50, so someone really wanted this.
