Size: Approx. 1.25 inches to 1.5 inches Up for sale is a rare vintage Southwestern Bell employee novelty pinback button featuring the famous stacked acronym \"WMD TOPCIT BWTNT ALI\". This clever insider acronym stands for the classic company mantra: \"We may be the only phone company in town, but we try not to act like it.\"These buttons were distributed internally to employees during the monopolistic Bell System era as a lighthearted nod to their public service standards and advertising campaigns. A wonderful, quirky piece of telecom history that makes a perfect addition to any vintage advertising, telephone, or pop-culture memorabilia collection.
Condition:The front face of the pin is in very clean, bright condition with crisp blue text and minimal surface wear. The metal back does show some minor age-related corrosion/rusting as pictured, but the pin mechanism remains fully functional and intact.
Please review the photos carefully to evaluate the exact condition.Shipping:Will be securely packaged and shipped quickly with tracking through . Feel free to ask any questions before purchasing! Thank you for looking!
