Persons Unknown Badges

In 1980,  Poison Girls produced and distributed a series of forty eight one-inch button/pin badges to promote and reinforce the Persons Unknown declaration.  

Using words from the song, each badge identifies a social (mis)fit  - the collective Persons Unknown.

The original badges have become sought after for their part in Poison Girls' legend.  They have now been carefully recreated.  Printed black on white, hand pressed and available as a complete set or in part-sets.

Please take care in studying the options and selecting which set - part or full, you would like to purchase (hover your cursor over the image for closer detail).

We regret that we are unable to provide mixed, custom part-sets.  They are divided in groups of eight as read in sequence on the main image from top left to bottom right, plus the two image badges
