Title: Political Memorabilia
Post by: debodun on October 03, 2013, 06:32:48 AM

Campaign buttons from the McKinley - Bryan election (1896) and a Herbert Hoover sewing kit from 1928. Not interested in selling at the present. Just sharing, but any constructive comments appreciated.

Well worth keeping even though Hoover was not at the top of anyones list that I know !!  Rabbits here are still called Hoover Hogs by some !!

Nice old stuff! (The lower left hand pin looks like T. Roosevelt, when he was running with McKinley in the 1900 election.)

Nice buttons.

The values have been waning lately.  But they will most likely go up in value next presidential election.

Cool. I've got some old political memorabilia that I need to sell for a client soon. I somehow doubt the "Vote Republican" banner with Nixon and Agnew is going to be a popular one though. ;)
