Object Description
A pin-back button. The button is white with an image of a light blue Greek flag on a flagpole. The button is fairly dirty. The back is made of metal and has a non-fastening pin.
Origin
This button was donated by Jenny Boondas. It was part of a collection belonging to her brother-in-law, Constantine Brown, who died in 2014. This button is probably from World War II. It was likely made for the Greek American community, both to support the Greek war effort and to show Greek pride.
