This super cool David Bowie vintage pin holds a fascinating piece of Australian history!
'The Patrick Name is associated back to the early 1900's in Australia when 5 brothers pioneered the button badge business in Australia.
Patrick Australia (the Melbourne site) started over 80 years ago, when the Patrick Brothers purchased an industrial property that was situated on Drewery Lane, Melbourne.
It begun life as a photography studio, but with a bit of a twist, they would mount the photos onto badges. Over the years they developed the badge side of company and the Patrick Family were the first to design and produce the “one-piece badge,” which is a single piece of tin wrapped around with the pin on top'.
This piece is rare and Lovingly sourced second hand
