Cookie Switch?

A group of women in vintage clothing stands in a line outdoors, balancing on one leg with their arms linked, smiling and posing together for the camera. Trees and sunlight are visible in the background.

No, it’s not a new flavor or a blind taste test. It’s a delightful cookie incentive from Little Brownie Bakers in 1994:

 The switchplate matches the Volunteer patch from that year:

That makes me think that it was an incentive for Volunteers. But who knows, there may be girls out there who love switchplates.

This exciting new addition to the Nation’s Capital archival collection is on display (and in use!) at our Frederick Archives and History Program Center.

This is one artifact that you can definitely touch!
