History the stamp represents: Since the days of George Washington, buttons, in one form or another, have been used to raise or show support for elected leaders.
At America’s very first presidential inauguration in 1789, Washington’s supporters wore specially engraved buttons. Reading “Long Live the President,” they were functional coat buttons sewn onto their suits. Political buttons continued to be more functional than informative for several years. In 1840, William Henry Harrison distributed brass badges depicting a log cabin, protected by a piece of glass. These badges could be attached to clothing with a bar pin and clasp.
Another milestone came in 1860, when Abraham Lincoln became the first presidential candidate to distribute badges with his image on them. Over the next few years, badges were printed on cardboard rather than emulsion on metal. In 1888, Benjamin Harrison and Grover Cleveland were the first to use campaign button with celluloid covering, as patented by Benjamin Whitehead. Then in 1896, William McKinley and William Jennings Bryan utilized Whitehead’s patent for the pinback button we know today in their presidential race. Since that time, pinback buttons have been created for every presidential campaign.
