Buttons/pins welcoming the return of hostages,
on January 20, 1981, who were held in Iran during the Iranian
Hostage Crisis that lasted for 444 days. The two buttons with
yellow ribbons are 1 3/4" in diameter and the large one
is 3 1/2" in diameter. The buttons are in overall good condition
with light surface scratches, yellowing on one button from age,
and light to moderate rust on the metal back and needles. The
pins are: "Welcome Home Hostages Free At Last Jan. 20, 1981
444 days". Has a U.S. flag on a chain.
