Antique Automobile Club of America Diamond Jubliee Pin, 1971

In 1896, the Duryea Motor Wagon Company, headed by Charles and Frank Duryea, built thirteen automobiles using the same design. It was the beginning of automobile production -- and the automobile industry -- in the United States. Seventy-five years later car enthusiasts celebrated. This souvenir pinback button was made to commemorate the Duryeas' accomplishment.
