Buttons (25mm) / Pins

Campaign buttons are used in an election as political advertising for (or against) a candidate or political party, or to proclaim the issues that are part of the political platform.In "celluloid" buttons, first used in 1896, one side of a metal disk is covered with paper (printed with the message) and protected by a layer of clear plastic. Since 1916, buttons have also been produced by lithographing the image directly onto the metal disk. [1] Thousands of buttons are produced and distributed to the public. A celluloid-type button is fastened to a garment using a pin on the back side of the button (in recently-produced buttons, the pin generally fits into a safety-pin-style catch).
