I think so Rick, furthermore, Dogs teach even more, inside them, there are to many for learn, in one thread, I wrote something learned them:
BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO EXPECT NOTHING, FOR THEY SHALL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.

Old Stetson "MOTOR" lightweight w/ old Ford pin

BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO EXPECT NOTHING, FOR THEY SHALL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.

Truer words were never spoken!

Back to topic fellas - new hat & new button. Ordinarily I prefer cloisonne pins or stamped metal/ vintage military pins, but this one was so compelling & I think caries with it some American Labor History. Apropos to the badge the Stetson model is "The Motor"

Yeah, I was the one who snagged it.
Lovely tissue thin & kitten soft felt & the first 2 1/4" brim I've felt comfortable in.

The button was made only two scant years after the founding of the UAW and just months after negotiating recognition of the UAW by General Motors. The next month, auto workers at Chrysler won recognition of the UAW as their representative in a strike. But as for Ford - he had promised that "The UAW would organize Ford over my dead body."

These buttons were made the same year as the infamous "Battle of the Overpass" - on May 26, 1937, in which labor organizers clashed with Ford Motor Company security guards AKA "The Ford Service Department", an internal security, intimidation, and espionage unit within the company, which quickly gained a reputation of using violence against union organizers and sympathizer.

But at the time this button was made & worn it would still be three years until Henry Ford agreed to a collective bargaining agreement with the UAW.

So, what with Fords use of anti-union hired goons, it likely took some stones to sport these buttons at the time in Mowtown.

Someone should go into business making stick pins for us today. There's a market there. That "fedora folk" at the top of the page is a perfect example.

 

[jdbenson]

I was wondering if anyone has tried using the tiny very strong rare earth magets like I have seen in other applications. You would glue one magnet to the back of the pin and place a second magnet inside the crown where you want to place the pin and bring them together. The two magnets get into a death grip through the felt and shouldn't come loose.

Indeed I have done just that. It works quite well. The only problem I've had is the glue I used to affix the magnet to the back of the pin didn't hold too well over time. I think if you used a sufficiently strong epoxy that would withstand the changes in temperature that the seasons will bring, you'll be fine.

The pin´s hat, with some trade brands, meet sports and others on a mexican yute hat.¡¡¡

 

[Rick Blaine]

Bought this one from a fella in España. It ain't here yet but I can't wait. It cost a pretty penny but it is the only one I have seen that is not a celluloid pinback. Like this:

But insted stamped/molded into the steel(?).

 

[danofarlington]

I ask Duck in another thread if he would post a pic of the pin that is on
his O R.
So, how about it everyone, what about posting some pics of pins that either came on your fedoras or that you have added yourself.

Don't they hurt when they go into your scalp?
