Mothers Day Carnation Oval gold tone red Flower pin
- Gold tone 0.75" metal pin
- Mother's Day was almost universally observed before 1914, as most states had observances, but the date sometimes varied. Traditionally, vendors sold carnations for churchgoers to wear, red for those whose mother was living and white for those whose mother had died.
- President Woodrow Wilson, on Saturday, May 9, 1914, made the official announcement proclaiming Mother's Day a national observance to be held each year on the 2nd Sunday of May, thereby making May 10, 1914 the first national Mother’s Day.
