The picture below shows a larger front and back view of this 1921 Woman's American Baptist Foreign Mission Society 50th Anniversary Pin Back Button. This pinback button is imprinted in gold and blue green on a white celluloid background. It has a banner around a globe image and it is marked as follows: 1871 WABFMS 1921 The pin back button measures 3/4'' wide. The front appears to be in mint condition but the back looks like it is missing a paper insert as pictured. Below here, for reference, is some additional information: Woman’s Foreign Mission Society “April 3, 1871 The Woman’s American Baptist Foreign Mission Society was organized in Boston, Massachusetts. Two hundred women came together to form the society which sent women as missionaries to women in foreign lands. The WABFMS joined with the Woman’s American Baptist Foreign Missionary Society of the West (Chicago), to form the Woman’s American Baptist Foreign Mission Society. ABHS is the official repository for the records and magazines of WABFMS.” |
