Still, that does not mean that happy face pins were widely used in the  
1960s. I suspect advertising and marketing campaigns picked up the device and  the 
actual mass-marketing of the pins can be attributed to one of those  companies 
that mass-produce fountain pens, pencils, and coffee cups with company  
names. Even then, you should ask yourselves how and under what circumstances  those 
little images began popping up?
