We’ve been on the lookout for other pins and pin projects, because obviously we aren’t the only people who make 1″ pins: so many people we know personally who own button makers. So we thought it might be fun to showcase some of them or other pin related things we find on the internet and in real life. We hope you find this stuff as interesting as we do!

I (Kris) was just checking out the Johnny Cupcakes website (one of my favorites), and he had a picture of some vintage pins up on there.

Ok so they might be badges. But they sure do look like pins to me!

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!
