Great souvenirs M.V. ¡¡¡¡¡¡ I likeAside from the JBS branding iron pin and the Stetson pin that is on so many 1970s and later hats (and I have a bunch of those) here are the other pins that I put on my hats…
Here is the front view:
The one in the upper left corner is a patriotic pin from the Span Am War in 1898. The one under it is a Stetson advertisement pin from about the same time period (or perhaps as late as the 1910s or so). And the other two are the Stetson Stratoliner pins we are all so familiar with. I have a third Stratoliner pin on my Stratoliner hat. These two are just extra ones I picked up here and there.
Here is a shot of the backs showing the clasps and pins.
(I've looked for a thread dedicated only to hat pins and couldn't find one. If there is one and I've missed it, I hope the mods can merge this in with the older one.)
I use some hats with favourite usually sporting pins, all this You show us are very fine¡¡¡¡¡I have five different styles of Stetson hat pins.
Here they are…
I like this, great pins ¡¡¡
Got these two the other day. I had never heard of The United States Boys' Working Reserve.
Nice aristo touch, Alan.
What kind of backing is normally used for a hat pin?
Some ear rings make great pins.
