OP 728 Shade Tree Mechanic Joined: Aug 2003 Posts: 110 Loveland, CO	I recently purchased a Chevy pin back advertising button on eBay (#2207832427). It says "try it" showing a hand gesturing to a steering wheel (appears to be 30's style). Chev bow tie also on button. Color is black background with yellow. Size is 1" dia. Anyone know what year this might be? Any help appreciated. Thanks, Ron Holzschuh (e-mail rbholz@juno.com) Ron Holzschuh

At least one is a reproduction produced in the 60s or 70s. The original was produced for the 1931 Chevrolet model year. How Sweet the roar of a Chevy four!

They are of different sizes and interestingly, they do not indicate any manufacturer or ownership on the back as most of these pins do. They are also noticeably different in the shade of the yellow/orange.

It appears to have been a 2 piece button with the front being snapped over the back, similiar to the skins on a 30-40's hub cap. Either way, its a pin I didn't have. Happy Motoring!! Ron Holzschuh
