Examples of Buttons
Bernard L. Karr Political Pinback Button Collection
Political advertising is the backbone of any campaign. Most strategies focus on video to relay messages, but pinback buttons are still major assets to would be candidates. Pinback buttons date as far back as the 19th century and are some of the oldest forms of political advertising. Thanks to Bernard L. Karr and his substantial donation of political pinback buttons to the Browne Popular Culture Library, we can see how pinback buttons are used in current political campaigns.
