Free Cuba Badge

Free Cuba Badge
Molded and Cast from an Original.
These were worn by civilians in the United States as media reports of unfair and uncivil treatment of Cubans spread across the country sparking 1776 style ideas of independence for Cubans from their Spanish colonial oppressors.  Not that all these stories were true aka “Fake News” but the idea spread and so too did the market for selling various statement pieces like this to show ones support for such growing movements. 
Cast in lead free pewter, plated in 22 karat gold and painstakingly hand painted to resemble its original predecessor.
Disclaimer: all my metal pieces with pin backs are attached with industrial adhesive.
