Have you been looking for the Portland Pins machine that’s been moving around town? It started out at Coast City Comics before moving on to SPACE Gallery (and a few other special events, including PICNIC and MECA events), and now it’s on to its 3rd official location! Stop in at Find at 16 Free Street to get your own Portland Pins for just 25 cents for the next month!

Find is a great vintage store (we’re not just saying that, we got the idea to bring the machine there because we kept going in to shop!) and not only can you find some great deals on clothes, but there’s a cozy lounge area with Ms. Pac-Man, magazines to read, and now our Portland Pins machine!

This weekend I came across some interesting vintage 1″ pins. At the Big Chicken Barn I found a huge selection of pins (both 1″ and otherwise) including those pictured below (oddly placed on a hat covering a Phrenology bust) as well as the cool Charles “Plucky” Lindbergh pin. These FDR pins were on display on Campobello Island in New Brunswick, Canada.

If you come across any cool vintage pins, take a photo and send them to us at pinme [at] portlandpins.com!
