Don’t just say it, wear it

New video explains how pinback buttons came to be


The Postal Service has released a video about its new Pinback Buttons stamps.

The Forever stamps are designed to resemble the sort of pins that convey a political leaning, tell a joke, champion a social or environmental cause or simply serve as a souvenir. The 10 stamps feature work by various artists, each with a single, upbeat word as the central design element

The video, about three-and-a-half minutes long, features Shibani Gambhir, USPS sales intelligence and support vice president, and Ted Hake and Christen Carter, authors of “Button Power: 125 Years of Saying It with Buttons.”
