One pin that reads, "Votes For Women," printed by Allied Printing dated approximately 1910 to 1913. Text is printed in black on a metallic gold background. There is a sharp metal tack attached to the back to fasten the pin to garments.

The pin is possibly connected to the National Women's Suffrage Parade of 1913. Could also be dated from the early 1910s when the printed image and slogan became of popular use during the women's suffrage movement.
