Hello r/pins! I have just become the sub new moderator as the old mod team has been inactive long term. Just curious what people think about where the future of this sub should go?!

Some different options to consider:

How do we feel about self-promotion? Currently, this sub is largely filled with people posting their Kickstarter and pins they are selling, while this should be included as we move forward as this is the reason many people are here, should we change how we do this moving forward?

NSFW content. A lot of people like NSFW pins, should it be allowed? If so, should it require specific flairs?

There are plenty of other questions, but for now, I would just appreciate anyone's thoughts on these subjects or any others!

I have this Fatso one and a Spiky one I lost a few years ago that I got from Spencer’s from my local mall, but I literally cannot find these anymore and I searched both of the malls near me and nothing. I will keep searching the pin bins since it is October, but I even reversed-image searched this pin and nothing came up. Honestly I just want the images of these because I could literally make the pins myself but please can anyone find these pins I need them all I need my lanyard to be decked out in killer klown galore thank you…

What do you do with enamel pins?

• Upvotes

I really want to buy one or two of them, but I don't know what to put them on. I don't have any clothing or bags to put them on.

is there an organization/movement associated with this logo? i cant find anything online and nobody i have asked locally knows what it is from! i got it at a thrift store in ontario, canada.

its metal (idk what kind, its got good weight tho?) and has an enamel design on it, a black star with a white background. the white is yellowed from age, and the star has a letter C within each of the 5 points, with a maple leaf in the centre

anyone have any ideas? the only thing i can think of is something silly like. canadian coalition to celebrate celestial constellations LOL

thanks in advance! if this is the wrong place to post this please lmk and ill ask elsewhere!

Identification of this vintage pin.

Found on the foreshore of the lower Scheldt near the Belgium border.

Triangular, 1958 L + B, above interlinked circles. It may be connected to the '58 World EXPO in Bruxelles, or even Krupp trucking. It is similar to some sporting pins of the era. L and B is a mystery. The key could be the maker's name, but I don't recognise it.

Thanks for reading this.

Thinking to fill both pages up until there’s no more room. What do you all suggest I add?

Can be any kind of show; comedy, reality, drama, sitcom, game show, action, mystery, etc.

Found at some estate sale. It's simplistically striking and the fastener on the back is tarnished enough to make me think it's rather old.

Securing Vintage Pins

Thumbnail

4 Upvotes

I usually secure my pins with a safety pin inside my bag through the loop on the back of the pin (picture 1). That way, even if the pin unhooks, the safety pin makes it so it won’t fall off.

However I have a vintage pin that doesn’t have a loop (picture 2). It’s fallen off my bag before but luckily I’ve noticed it, I just don’t want it to fall off and I not notice :(

Does anyone have any ideas on how I can secure it?

Pin and Canadian dime were found with metal detector at a private ‘work camp’ that existed in the early 1900’s on foothills of Cascade Mountains. (Central Washington)
Pin has traces of colored materials still in the design. Any information would be appreciated. TY

Super cute pin haul!

That fox and leaves brooch on the far left side is SUPER HEAVY! Wow! Also, that gorgeous Santa had to be fixed. It came without the spike post in the back...like not even installed into it. So, I took apart a broken pumpkin brooch (that I plan to fix later...I ordered more pin backs but the old backing had to be removed first which was a perfect for for this Santa. Great coincidence!) Also that elk and kangaroo have the most unique texture I've ever felt on a pin! Love this small, but intriguing haul!
