Save the clock tower Pin

[ssaluzzi]

Hello, I would like to make a replica of the button "save the clock tower", I have the image of the pin, but I can not determine the exact diameter.
but not sure what should be. hear opinions.

I would say 2.5" or 3"

Since they used the photo from a yellow clock tower flyer for that button, it's very easy to calculate the size. It's exactly 3 inches in diameter. Don't forget: the button has attached two tricolor-strips with bevel cut ends. The visible part of each strip is 5 inches long.

At least a 3 inch diameter pin.

excellent guys! thank you very much, the company that makes pin where I am, makes them in 75mm diameter, 3"x2,54 is the diameter closest to that measurement.
and thanks for the detail, Rolland, tricolor strip 5".

... tricolor strip 5".

It might also be one large strip, which is folded under the button.

yes, would be more logical, to grip with brooch pin.
calculate 13" in total length, if the brooch is in the middle of the pin, as in my case.

Yes, 13 inches sounds good. And this is what you need: 1 inch or 25 mm wide ribbon.
