Description
Today, we will start featuring a collection of political Americana purchased from an old-time collector. Pieces were chosen for a combination of scarcity and condition, with an emphasis on the latter. Most of the collection was comprised of celluloid pinback buttons, but there are some GREAT earlier pre-1896 pieces, as well. Some standard abbreviations used include: cello = celluloid pinback button, litho = lithograph pinback button, ferro = ferrotype. All items’ sizes are denoted, as well as condition. We can not stress how rare it is for us to buy to a high-quality collection of this scope and magnitude. This specific item is a 1952 EISENHOWER 1 1/4″ CELLO CAMPAIGN BUTTON, “COLORADO FOR IKE”- SCARCE & MINT! ALTHOUGH WE’RE NOT POSITIVE IF THESE STATEHOOD BUTTONS WERE ISSUED FOR THE CONVENTION (A LIKELY SCENARIO), THEY ARE KNOWN TO EXIST FOR ALL 48 STATES. HAWAII AND ALASKA WERE NOT YET STATES. ALL ARE SCARCE, AND FOR WHATEVER REASON, NEW JERSEY IS RARE. BECAUSE OF THE METALLIC SILVER FINISH USED ON THE STATEHOOD MAPS, LAMINATIONS AND PAINT DEFECTS ARE COMMON. ALL OF OUR EXAMPLES OFFERED ARE nr-MINT TO MINT, AND DEVOID OF THESE AFOREMENTIONED PROBLEMS! Our commitment is to provide you with quality coins and collectibles at the best possible prices. This piece is no exception. Please note, the coin and collectibles markets do fluctuate, and prices occasionally will change. In this rare circumstance, we will contact you first to verify your order.
