This is a really cool Rat Fink badge!
It measures around 1 1/4" tall and has a regular clutch style backing.
Handmade of solid pewter, by me.
After selling airbrushed t-shirts for a few years at the end of the 1950s, Ed Roth would come up with the idea for Rat Fink. The expansive pop culture effect of Walt Disney’s films was his primary inspiration. Life in a Disney movie is cheery, carefree, and upbeat, with any problem being easily solvable in the length of a motion picture. If this sappy, utopian portrait of life makes you want to barf, don’t worry. Seeing that poverty and suffering in the world were largely ignored by consumer culture, Ed Roth felt the same way. As a response to Mickey Mouse’s chipper demeanor, Rat Fink — the inverse of everything cutesy, sanitized, and family friendly — was born.

Every piece we offer is patiently handcrafted in a one person workshop on Vancouver Island. Please understand that handmade goods are never ‘perfect’ in the way assembly-line products are. No two pieces will ever be exactly alike – you will find that every piece varies slightly in terms of the metal finish.
