Pinback button promoting Harry Truman for president and Alben Barkley for vice-president, 1948. Litho. Bastian Bros. Co., Rochester, New York, with union shop mark at curl.
Afraid to waste money on what appeared to be a lost cause, Democrats were slow to contribute to their candidate in 1948, and consequently fewer Truman buttons were issued. Only a handful saw national distribution, including this classic design featuring the U.S. Capitol rotunda. We have a limited supply of select, high grade examples.
