Description

This pinback button was given out by the Chicago Mercantile Exchange to commemorate the launch of options on the British Pound and Swiss Franc Futures on February 25, 1985.

It became a tradition on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange to commemorate the launch of new contract, option, or significant Exchange event by giving the floor trader a button to pin on their jacket. These buttons would be handed out that morning at the entrance to the trading floor. The hope was to bring attention to the new option or futures contract to get them too trade it. Most tend to be discarded at the end of the day making them pretty tough to find.
