Rosie the Riveter’s Authentic Collar Pin – Employment Badge


$4.00 (List Price: $6)  

You asked for it and now we offer the only authentic Rosie the Riveter collar pin, which is her employment badge.

Customers have asked us over the years. “Where can I get Rosie’s collar pin to wear with my Rosie the Riveter Legacy Bandana?” We tried to help them out by searching for it. Sure, it’s easy to find a pin showing the poster, but that’s not what Rosie is wearing in the iconic Rosie the Riveter “We Can Do It!” poster. She has her employment badge on.

And still the requests came in. We finally decided to tackle the design and manufacturing issue. AND WE’RE PLEASED TO OFFER YOU THE ONLY AUTHENTIC ROSIE THE RIVETER EMPLOYMENT BADGE — and it’s manufactured in the USA, just like our Rosie the Riveter Legacy Bandana.

We did a lot of research. We had an enlarged Rosie poster that we purchased from the National Archives. That gave us a close-up look at what the artist, J. Howard Miller, had drawn on Rosie’s collar. You see, if you worked in a wartime factory or plant, you had to wear your employment badge at all times. These badges showed your photo, your employee number, and the name of the company. Miller worked at Westinghouse Electric Service when he drew the now iconic poster so he drew a badge on Rosie’s collar that showed her face and the name of the company.

That was the starting place for our Rosie the Riveter collar pin. Then we did the research to find any actual employment badges from that period for Westinghouse. We found one and that gave us the additional details we needed to make this authentic. You see, the companies asked women to turn in their badges when they returned home after the war and the badges were destroyed. Fortunately, a few women kept them.

So we took the Rosie image — well just her head and collar since that’s all that would have been on her employment badge, and put it into a pin that echoes the original ones worn by women working during World War II. AND, one last detail. We removed from Rosie’s image the pin that shows on her collar. After all, in the photo of her employment badge, she wouldn’t already have on an employment badge. Those are the kinds of details that enable us to offer such a special ROSIE THE RIVETER PIN / EMPLOYMENT BADGE.

AND ONE LAST POINT. For a couple of years, we put off creating a Rosie the Riveter pin because we thought a paper image inside plastic just wouldn’t look real — after all most of the employment badges were metal. Then we found an American company that was willing to print on silver mylar. Ah, the perfect answer. These look like they are on metal.

But that’s not all. We created slightly smaller zipper pulls. The are as cute as can be. See description below.

Rosie the Riveter Bandana Limited Edition IV


$12.50 (List Price: $23)  

Get the Empowered Look for Yourself, Your Daughter, Your Mother, or a Friend.

We’ve always felt our bandana makes a statement and serves as the perfect symbol of women’s empowerment. Our customers agree. Use our red-and-white polka dot bandana as the perfect power accessory at work and at play.

Rosie the Riveter Legacy Bandanas are great to purchase for yourself and make a great gift for friends and family. Let the recipient know you think she is an empowered woman. Now 100% cotton and softer than ever.

If you want the official look, the official red and white polka dot scarf, you’ve come to the right place because no one else offers a true Rosie the Riveter bandana. Our new bandana is a generous 27 x 27 inches so you can tie it just like Rosie the Riveter did. You also get more white polka dots — large ones just like Rosie wore — and in a random pattern. We studied her bandana to make sure we were offering you an authentic look. And finally, we’re pleased to say it is Made in the USA.

Each Limited Edition bandana has been unique. This time we changed the design to give you more options. We moved our official Rosie the Riveter icon to the corner. This way you can fold it to show her, or turn it the other way and just have polka dots. But the size is the biggest change this time. We searched a long time to find a manufacturer that could give us the generous 27-square-inch size Rosie the Riveter scarf that allows you to tie it around your head just like Rosie did with enough fabric left to give you the two ample ends in front. The larger size also makes it a pleasure to wear around your neck.

Share Rosie the Riveter’s legacy by wearing and giving this Made in the USA bandana — designed by us — to represent the combined legacy of Rosie and Rosie’s Daughters. Their motto is “We Can Do It.” Let’s work together to pass on that legacy. Wear the bandana yourself. Give one to a daughter, a granddaughter, or share with your friends.

Order now while we have a large number in stock. Our Rosie the Riveter Bandana Limited Edition I was a big success and sold out quickly. We added our exclusive icon with Rosie the Riveter Limited Edition II, and it sold out even faster than the first. With Limited Edition III, we increased the number of polka dots, and yes, it sold out quickly. Of course, the message is still there–We Can Do It! Pass It On!

Rosie the Riveter Bandana Limited Edition IV is manufactured and printed in the USA. And in case you’re wondering, the 100% cotton bandana is soft, very pliable and easy to tie.

Rosie the Riveter Bandanas will be sent First Class Mail. If you need Priority Mail or other expedited service, just send us an email and we’ll calculate the additional cost. We always try to ship within 24 hours.

NOTE: By the way, between October 20 and October 30, we regularly charge for Priority Mail. We don’t want you disappointed for your Halloween parties.

Rosie’s Legacy Mug.
List Price: $14.00

Rosie the Riveter was a mythic figure in our culture, with good reason – she built ships, flew bombers, and filled thousands of other essential jobs in America’s World War II. She upended traditional views of women’s work. The question, “What work can women do?” became “Is there any work women can’t do?” In the following half century, the answer has been, “No!”

Rosie didn’t have her own mug, but we think she would like ours. We modeled it on her bandana with a message that honors her strength, courage and sense of empowerment. Enjoy this mug yourself. Give one to a daughter, a granddaughter, or a friend.
