Paging all pinback experts
Posted By: paul muchinsky
I fully agree these are homemade pins. To me, the more interesting question is when were these pins made, and how were they made? Modern pinmaking presses don't typically have 7/8" dies. The technology for a person to create such a pin didn't exist 100 years ago. That narrows the range of options. I will clearly vote for homemade, with the caveat they weren't made in anyone's home. I'd say somebody had a friend who worked at a pinmaker like Whitehead and Hoag, and these were run as a favor to the friend.
