Buttons - Youth Programs - 1970s?
Honorary Police
Burlington, Iowa
Buttons are not something I collect, they just sort accumulate here. I have absolutely no idea how this particular specimen found its way to my house. I have never visited Burlington, Iowa. In fact I've only been through Iowa on a train long ago and never actually set foot on the soil of the Hawkeye State.
It looks like this originally had a soft metal flap at the top that could be used to fold over a shirt pocket but has long since broken off. To remedy that situation someone used blue electrical tape to hold a safety pin on the reverse side.

Catnip Frenzy at Steve's Acres of Cats
So, as you can see this innocent little construct was peacefully existing on my living room floor. It actually looks like something Ed Wood would've used as a set in one of his films.
