- Women Pins in World War I Much like the use of military insignia to identify its wearer by association with an organization and his/her achievements, the Military Women Pins and buttons in this section were meant to be worn by Americans on the home front during World War I to show their membership in an organization and/or their contribution to a particular war effort, such as the United War Work Campaign. The Military Women Pins and buttons displayed the wearer's patriotism and generosity and undoubtedly also served to prompt others to become involved in the various war efforts. Women were heavily involved in the organizations and war efforts with which these objects are associated. The Military Women Pins and buttons showcased in this section are from the Division of Medicine and Science’s collection of celluloid objects, donated by two enthusiastic celluloid collectors. Celluloid is a thin, highly flammable plastic first created in 1856 by Alexander Parkes, although not patented as "celluloid" until 1869 under the auspices of inventor John Wesley Hyatt. It was widely used as film for movies and photography up through the 1950s. Celluloid was an excellent material for making jewelry, particularly because it was much cheaper to manufacture and could imitate finer materials like ivory. Other items once made with celluloid include—but are by no means limited to—postcards, game pieces, knitting needles, toys, and matchbox covers, two of which are also included in this section. Today celluloid is still used in the production of ping pong balls and guitar picks. [View Details]

Modern Military Campaign Medals
Modern Military Campaign Medals A Campaign Medal is a military decoration which is awarded to a member of an armed force who serves in a designated military operation or performs duty in a geographical theater. Campaign Medals are very similar to service Medals but carry a higher status as the award usually involves deployment to a foreign region or service in a combat zone. Military Campaign Medals's History Campaign Medals were first invented to recognize general military service in war, in contrast to meritorious decorations which were only issued on a small scale for acts of heroism and bravery. The campaign were first issued by the british military with the Medal awarded for the defeat of the Invincible Armada, with the 1815 waterloo Medal being the first awarded to all men present and the 1847 Military General Service Medal being the first "modern" Campaign Medal.

The Edward Medal one of the rarest British gallantry awards
The Edward Medal one of the rarest British gallantry awards. The Edward Medal was instituted by Royal Warrant on 13 July 1907 to recognise acts of bravery of miners and quarrymen in endangering their lives to rescue their fellow workers. The original Royal Warrant was amended by a further Royal Warrant on 1 December 1909 to encompass acts of bravery by all industrial workers in factory accidents and disasters, creating two versions of the Edward Medal: Mines and Industry. In both case (Mines and Industry), the Medal was divided in two grades: first class (silver) and second class (bronze). The cost of the Edward Medal (Mines) was borne by a fund established by a group of philanthropists (including prominent mine owners) and not the state. The Edward Medal (Mines) was awarded only 395 times (77 silver and 318 bronze) and the Edward Medal (Industry) only 188 times (25 silver and 163 bronze, of which only two were awarded to women), making the Edward Medal one of the rarest British gallantry awards. Only posthumous awards were made after 1949, and the Edward Medal (Industry) (1st class) has not been awarded since 1948. The Edward Medal was discontinued in 1971, when surviving recipients of the Edward Medal (along with holders of the Albert Medal) were invited to exchange their award for the George Cross. Nine (2 silver, 7 bronze) elected not to exchange their medals. [View Details] -

How to Production Soft and Hard Enamel Pins?
How to make Soft Enamel Pins? Step 1: Prepare your pin design Tip 1 : Make sure that the linework is crisp and connected. These lines are going to be what separates the colors. These colors are manually poured onto the Soft Enamel Pins so having thick enough and crisp lines are essential. Tip 2 : Make sure that the design is simple enough. Working on something that is 1 to 2 inches in size is hard enough. Having too many lines can make it hard to pour in the colors. Trust me, you don’t want to waste weeks going back and forth with the pin manufacturer doing edits. The simpler the design, the faster they can finish your pins.. Tip 3 : Do not use small texts. This will not be readable particularly on a pin that is 1 inch small. Tip 4 : Try to use bold lines and colors if possible. As mentioned, the pins are quite small. Seeing the details from afar is almost impossible if you use thin lines. Muted colors are also less visually appealing. Unless you are working with pastel items, the bolder the colors the better. Tip 5 : Do not use shading on your design. It cannot be captured properly on a pin. You will just be wasting your time because the manufacturer will have you remove those eventually. They will not make Soft Enamel Pins that are not designed according to their specifications. The same goes for transparent colors and gradients. Just stick to solid colors. Tip 6: Make sure that you use the Pantone color matching system In order to communicate what colors, you want for your Custom Enamel Pins. Most manufacturers use this system to get the right colors. You don’t want 50 copies of a pin that doesn’t match your original design, right? .ORDER NOW 10% OFF Step 2: Decide Enamel Pins material Hard Enamel Pins Hard Enamel Pins offer jewelry-quality design and an incredibly smooth surface, while still being durable and long-lasting. The pins are made from iron metal that has been died struck. The manufacturer adds the enamel before the actual plating is done. And then they polish the surface for several times. Because each color must be added separately, the Hard Enamel Pin tends to be pricier but is more durable. The multiple polishing processes do not allow for highly-detailed designs. Soft Enamel Pins Soft enamel pins feature a 3D-like surface that includes a textured surface with very fine details. Your design is stamped onto the iron metal. It is then cut to size. Afterward, the badges are attached to the metal plating. The enamel is then added onto the recessed spaces. The pins are baked to harden the enamel. Soft Enamel Pins have bumpy surfaces unless an epoxy coating is applied to it. It allows for more details to be included in your design. It tends to be cheaper too. soft enamel pins image ORDER NOW 10% OFF Step 3: Decide how many pins you need Most of the Enamel Pin manufacturers would ask you to order 100 pcs as the minimum order quantity. If you want to low down risk, you can also work with a few companies which can custom sample pins. Step 4: Find the right pin company Once you have your design ready to be sent to the manufacturer, the next step is to find the right manufacturer. There are 7 points for you to find a right Enamel Pin manufacturer -1 Do they produce the type of pin you want (hard or soft enamel)? It is better to choose the vendor who can produce Hard Enamel Pins; soft enamel pins; 3D cast; Die Stuck; off-set printing. -2 What is the minimum order quantity for the Custom Enamel Pins? Most of the vendors required MOQ 100 pcs for the custom pins. But most of the time, you just need a small quantity for your design -3 How long will it take to get the pins made and shipped? Normally, it will take the vendor 2 weeks to produce the pins and 3-5 working days to deliver your pin. In case you need urgent order, confirm the delivery date before you place your order -4 How fast the manufacturer responds to your queries? Do they answer your call immediately? Do they respond to emails within the day? The faster their response, the higher you can put them on the list of manufacturers to consider. -5 Any real customer reviews? Whether they have a third-party reviews, and what other customers say about this company? -6 Ask to see some actual samples of their work? Some pins might look great on a photo but not in real life. Nothing beats having the actual product in your hand to really check out its quality. Check if the vendor was able to copy the exact color of the submitted design.
