Pinback Buttons

Opland (signed by artist), 1984 - 1984-10-29

Pinback buttons to pin on your clothes were very popular in the 1970s and 1980s. You could show everyone who your favourite pop band was: Blondie, ABBA, the Bee Gees, or Boney M. Alternatively, to express your stance against the deployment of cruise missiles you could opt for a pinback with an iconic drawing by the cartoonist Opland.
