We're back from summer with a nice selection of 20th century -- 1900 up to the 1960s. Highlights include the classic Debs convict button, McKinley "Big P" for Patriotism and Prosperity celluloid, Bryan-Kern "Clean Sweep for Democracy" jugate, a classic JFK "Time for Greatness" poster from Boston headquarters, rare Cox, Davis, and Truman buttons...and the rarest "RFK" button known, one that has come on the market only a couple times
With the campaign season now in full swing, it's fun to look back at elections past and see how many of the things that were being debated 100 years ago are still being worked out in our at times contentious, but always interesting, democratic experiment. Let's hope we're still having spirited debates but still united 100 years from now.
