Political Campaign Pins
History of Election Campaign Pins
Button campaign pins originate with George Washington. At his inauguration, Washington and his supporters wore a brass clothing campaign button pins that said "G.W.-Long Live the President." When the ferrotype and tintype were invented, pictures could be used. These were surrounded by a metal frame with a hole punched in the top so a ribbon could be attached. These campaign pins were worn on lapels.
During the first part of the century, campaign button pins became a popular and colorful way to promote products, politicians, celebrities, businesses, holidays, events, landmarks, slogans, cartoons, musicians and almost everything else, really. Campaign pins were loved by the public and businesses alike, because they made exciting, unique fashion accessories and weren't as heavy or uncomfortable as wearing a sandwich board. It was a less-jaded time, back when people weren't bombarded by advertising and information, and wearing a election campaign pin was a small way for people to celebrate the commerce and vitality of the new American industrial age.
