Found another one today — a brass pin shaped like a trout, the enamel chipped, pin bent from some long-ago pocket. Sat on a wet log for twenty minutes trying to figure out how it got to a place with no trail. There is no answer to that question. That is the point.
badge.bar is for the things that got lost and came back slightly more beautiful. We don't polish them. We keep the patina. The patina is the proof.
If you have a pin, a patch, a crumpled ribbon, a rusted bottle cap that looks like a shield — bring it here. Pin it to the wall. Tell us where it came from. The collection grows by accident, never on purpose.
