Love it. These are fantastic — especially the photographic images, my favorites. Many years ago, a friend gave me a contraption called a
“Badge-o-Matic”, and I made my own pin-back badges. Imagine the fun? Some of my favorites, that ended up being the “keepers”, were old family photos, transformed into badges. Guaranteed to get noticed! — the badge I made of my Dad in his vintage baseball uniform has prompted people to walk across a crowded room to inquire………”Wait. WHO is THAT?”. And the stories just
keep flowing.

Ken’s collection is amazing. Thanks for shining a light.

At primary school we had a craze of making badges from bottle tops and used the inner cork as as pin. Double Diamond Works Wonders R Whites Lemonade . It only worked on our shirts which were covered in them and they were limited in the message they delivered . 8 year olds didn’t worry about that though !

Nowadays it is reversed again: so much Planned Obsolescence is built in that the products have lost their quality again…

Love & Peace
