Buffalo Mini Pin – Pewter Lapel Pin, Made in USA

An iconic symbol of the American West, the American Bison is often known as the "Buffalo." This massive mammal, belonging to the Bovidae family, is closely related to the European Bison and the Wisent. Characterized by its humpbacked appearance, shaggy mane, and distinctive curved horns, the Bison is a symbol of strength and resilience. They are often called "Plains Bison" to distinguish them from the "Wood Bison." Buffaloes were once widespread across North America, with vast herds roaming the Great Plains. These mighty grazers played a crucial role in shaping the prairie ecosystems. Despite their massive size, they are surprisingly agile and can run at impressive speeds. These majestic creatures have faced near-extinction due to overhunting but have made a remarkable recovery through conservation efforts. Today, they are a symbol of conservation success and a testament to the importance of preserving endangered species and their habitats. The Buffalo's historical significance, strength, and majestic presence make it a revered and iconic symbol of the American wilderness.

Craft & construction

Mini pin, a smaller pin with a single post. The mini version is a smaller pin that is lighter, and only requires a single post and clutch. Mini pins possess the same artistic detail in a smaller footprint. A single post and clutch hold it flat, which makes it the right pick where a full-size pin is too much: thinner fabrics, hats, collars, and smaller spaces.

Certified American pewter. The antiqued finish is completely safe to touch — and the craft behind it has been refined over three decades. Each batch of pewter that arrives at our shop in Poulsbo, WA from an American supplier comes with a lab test showing the material is lead free.
