Hi
Anyone noticed the 1916 badges with the "turned down" corners? You see them now and again and I wonder if they're not the same attempt to make these badges less liable to catch on clothing, etc.
Whoever thought that nice sharp corners (and three of them at that...) was a good idea in a factory situation, clearly wasn't thinking that deeply!
I have a small enameled stick pin that proclaims itself to be the "Pest Free Merit Award" . It is diamond shaped and comes to a sharp point.
I used to wear it in the hope that it would keep pests away (it only worked sometimes...) but after I had cut my thumb on it brushing down my lapel, it was relegated to a drawer!
