    Vintage "I Own A Liberty Bond" - WWI Pinback Button 1917-1919
    "I Own A Liberty Bond" Stature of Liberty - Red - White & Blue Pinback Button
    Liberty Loans were part of the U.S. government’s effort to sell war bonds during World War I to defray
    the expense of war. These bonds were issued by the U.S. Treasury. The First Liberty Bond Act was passed by Congress on April 24, 1917, and the bonds began issuance shortly thereafter. Much like the use of military insignia to identify its wearer and their achievements, these pins and buttons were meant to be worn by Americans on the home front during World War I to show their membership in an organization or their contribution to a particular war effort. The pins and buttons displayed the wearer’s patriotism and generosity and undoubtedly also served to prompt others to become similarly involved in the various war efforts. This button measures 7/8" in diameter.
