Pinback button promoting Alfred Smith for president, 1928. Bainbridge Badges & Buttons, Syracuse, NY.
Simple and direct, with the candidate's name in boldface letters on a plain field, this button is not found in the Hake Encyclopedia, and we could find only one auction record, in a recent Hake Americana sale where one in similar condition brought $487. Light age toning and a few trivial marks. A true rarity!
