Lenticular button switches between two images: 1) Black text above a yellow, peach, and grey illustrated image of a blond man's face and hands on a white background.  His face is divided down the middle by a dashed line as he shaves one side with a razor and the other with an electric shaver.  2) Black text above a grey illustrated image of an electric shaver on a white background.  

In 1970, Norelco, a manufacturer of electric razors and hair supply electronics, had an advertising campaign for its Tripleheader 35T electric shaver where they posed a contest between regular blades and their electric shaver. The ads said that if men shave one half of their face with blades and the other with the electric shave, these men would conclude that the Tripleheader gave them a better shave.

Lenticular button switches between two images: 1) Red and blue Glastron logo (a large capital G) on a white background.  2) Red text above and below the word "fun," written in capital letters and filled with the red and blue patterns of a flower, swirling stripes, and wavy stripes on a white background.  

Glastron is a manufacturer of entry-level and mid-range sport boats.  In 1956,  Bob Hammond, Bill Gaston, Bob Shoop, and Guy Woodard formed Glastron in Austin, Texas.  It was sold to Genmar Industries in 1987, and later relocated to Little Falls, Minnesota.

Yngwie Malmsteen is a Grammy-nominated Swedish musician, most notable for his highly technical guitar-playing. Malmsteen has credited classical musicians, particularly Paganini, as well as Ritchie Blackmore, Uli Jon Roth, and Brian May as influences on his style. Malmsteen rose to popularity during the mid-1980s, and his Neo-classical style was influential on many of his contemporaries.  In 1988, Fender Guitars released a Malmsteen signature Stratocaster, and he and Eric Clapton were the first artists to be honored by Fender.

Wings, a band fronted by Paul McCartney of Beatles fame, embarked on its "Wings Over the World" tour in 1975. The tour was highly publicized and shows took place mostly in arenas and stadiums. It traversed three continents - Australia, Europe, and North America - and involved 66 shows. It is unclear why this pin reads "October, 1977", as the tour wrapped at Wembley Arena in London on October 21st, 1976, a year earlier than the date on the pin.

Van Halen is an American rock band formed in 1972 initially under the name Mammoth, but changed to Van Halen in 1974. The band consisted of Eddie Van Halen (guitarist), David Lee Roth (vocalist), Alex Van Halen (drummer) and Michael Anthony (bassist). Sammy Hagar eventually replaced David Lee Roth as lead vocalist in 1985. Former Extreme vocalist Gary Cherone replaced Hager in 1996, but left the band in 1999. The band’s debut album titled “Van Halen,” released in 1978, was considered revolutionary and original and helped to influence rock and roll from that point forward. In 2007, Van Halen was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. David Lee Roth returned as lead vocalist, and Eddie Van Halen’s son Wolfgang replaced bassist Michael Anthony.
