Enamel pins

Anyone know where to pick interesting enamel pins/badges? Picked up one from Supemundane a couple of years ago and figure something similar but different would make great Christmas presents but sorely lacking in inspiration. Figure people on here may have some interesting ideas

Topple and Burn do a couple of political pins

On the subject of badges my long lost favourite badge showed up the other week. Made my day!

How strange, was chatting to a friend only today about my two favourite badges. The one on the left is a Panther Burns pin given to me by Tav Falco himself at a Pied Bull gig in the late 80s/early 90s. The Cramps badge came from Better Badges in Earlham Street in the early 80s. Priceless totems of my youth.

Tav Falco's Panther Burns. I've not heard that name in a while! So cool..

He was my hero* from the age of 15!

* until I actually met him. 😳🤣

Obscure badges, used to have a few, the fave being a small Mekons one, always on the inside of my bike jacket.
Still got these though in my ticket stubs pile, Factory records Festival of the tenth summer gig in 1986, still in the original bag.

That's a cool little item, did it merit its own FAC catalogue number?

I don't think it does. I used to be a bit of a New Order fanboy so had quite a lot of rare stuff including Fac 2 with the original stickers

This has digressed into an "I'll show you mine". I was a Noddy Club member though.

Also this was from my department.

I've been doing my very best not to buy a badge making machine in the last couple of years. I would love to start knocking out custom 1" badges, totally pointless exercise unless I'm gonna sell them but the desire is there.

Badges/pins are fucking great.

Surprised the RSPB ones haven't popped up, wonderful things.

Always have a rummage when I see the box at the pub. My son proudly sports a ladybird one (his favourite thing), the waxwing one is my favourite.

Another handy thing is these locking backs, if people haven’t seen them before.

Have lost both :-(

Two faves of mine are; Keep Hackney Crap & Champagne Anarchist.

Are those removable at all? Or are they a totally permanent fix?

They come off again.

A few faves of mine

Love this

Wow. I'm old enough to have done this!

I still have mine knocking around somewhere, but it's not as old as yours. I think I did it in 1978.
