    Description

    Vintage Rhode Island Red Hen State Bird Souvenir Enamel Lapel Pin Pinback. From my research the origin of these pins was Rhode Island's many attempts at self-promotion in the 1960s by the Development Council that featured enamel lapel pins depicting a red rooster superimposed over an anchor. An accompanying radio jingle encouraged you to: "Be a Rooster Booster / Now's the time to crow! / Be a Rooster Booster / And help Rhode Island grow!"
    In excellent condition. Please see all photos. Thanks!
