Item Description:

Up for sale is a rare, authentic historical celluloid pinback button from The Flying Squadron for National Prohibition of America. This progressive temperance organization, spearheaded by former Indiana Governor J. Frank Hanly, ran a massive nationwide whistle-stop campaign between 1914 and 1915 to secure a "saloonless nation". This is a fantastic piece of early 20th-century political Americana.

• Front Text: "The Flying Squadron for National Prohibition of America"

• Size: Measures approximately 5/8” in diameter (Sub-inch variant)

• Era: Circa 1914–1915

• Material: Celluloid face with metal backing

Condition Details:

• Front: Good vintage condition. The orange and blue typography remains sharp and completely legible. Very light age-toning/patina on the cream background as expected for a 110+ year-old pin.

• Back: Shows typical paper loss and spotting on the back insert consistent with age. The original straight-pin mechanism is fully intact, secure, and functional.

Please inspect the high-resolution photos provided to evaluate the exact condition details before making your purchase.
