Pin Back Buttons


It seems that it's hard to find pin back buttons sites on the internet! Even on Flickr... You'd think there would be plenty of them (not self made) pins.. I couldn't even find political pins on the net.. so far.. I saw a few here and a few there. Nothing worth posting here.

A collection of pin back buttons from www.timepassagesnostalgia.com. I know someone who shops there. There are 40 pages of pin button images! I had to snip the url address though. It's a pretty long url.

Mark Lansdown has really some remarkable cool pin buttons!

Company's producing buttons are somewhat difficult to find. Doing some research i found that a lot of people in the market for pin backs actually like to personalize and make them themselves. http://americanbuttonmachines.com/ , is one example that supplies equipment for doing this. Have you had similar findings?

Hi Mike,


The only places that I've seen the buttons were in antique stores and flea markets. I don't recall seen the machines. If I have, then I don't remember.
