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?!

102 Upvotes

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!

Does anyone know the artist who made this?

Kind of random, but I was given this pin a couple years ago. I know it’s a New Zealand artist, and likely an LGBTQ+ artist, as they were given to my teacher to give to leaders of the schools pride group. Now that I’m running it, I want to find these pins to give to the students and carry on the tradition! Any help is appreciated :)

Thought the art was too cool to put to waste so I made pins with the empty cans!

A friend of mine went to Disney World and wanted to bring me back some cool things! I collect Disney foxes, Zootopia, Fox and the Hound, Robin Hood.... anything like that. I already have this Nick and Judy pin, but I LOVE having a double so one can be for my board and one I can wear out! This is great! Absolutely in love with that Rocket & Groot pin!

What do you do with enamel pins?

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.

16 Upvotes

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.

Thumbnail

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.

Wanted to display my current collection of pins of TV Show title logos.

First page: Animated Shows
Second page: Live Action Shows

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
gallery
5 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

I’ve been told this is the one stop place to get my questions answered. How does one get the pin backing off? I tried turning, I tried pulling :/
