Vintage Anti-Prohibition Badge

August 5, 2011

This button dates from a time in the early part of the last century when alcohol was illegal. Not sure which state it’s from but the message urges people to vote yes on a proposition to repeal Prohibition. Different states (and provinces, as Canada had prohibition too) ended prohibition at different times.

From Wikipedia:

Mississippi, which had made alcohol illegal in 1907, was the last state to repeal Prohibition in 1966. Kansas did not allow sale of liquor “by the drink” (on-premises) until 1987.
