1940s Catchphrase Pinback
January 17, 2012
An early example of the “catchphrase” button. This one is available to buy on Etsy.
From the seller:
I’m not exactly sure what they’re talking about here, though “nothing doing” was a catchphrase in the 40s along the lines of “fuhgeddaboutit.”
Pin is in good condition with only a few scratches. Makes a great, if enigmatic, gift for someone vague.
