Located on Ebay, and identified thanks to my Johnson's Guide, this is a 1950's pin, appears to be made from brass or copper. Originally had glow in the dark eyes. There was also one available that had red glowing eyes. Johnson's lists these pins as valued between $150-400. I got this one for $42.
First penned by Lee Falk in 1934, Mandrake the Magician is a beloved comic crime-fighter. With a wave of his enchanting hand, crooks and gangsters are hypnotized into submission. Believing the illusion that their weapons are deadly snakes and red-hot irons, criminals cast aside their defenses and are easily apprehended by the cunning magician and his allies. With his dapper mustache and top hat, Mandrake the Magician is an unforgettable classic comic hero.
