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 1960 JOHN F. KENNEDY “OUR NEXT PRESIDENT” 4″ LARGE HEAD PHOTO SUPERIMPOSED ON AN AMERICAN FLAG CAMPAIGN BUTTON, near-MINT! OUR ORIGINAL INCLINATION WAS TO CALL THIS MINT, UNTIL CLOSE EXAMINATION REVEALED 4 MINISCULE 2-5 mm CELLULOID PULLS ON THE BACK COLLET. THE BUTTON IS OTHERWISE BRIGHT, MINT AND AS-MADE. THIS IS ONE RARE JFK ITEM, AND ONLY THE SECOND EXAMPLE THAT WE HAVE OWNED IN OVER 40 YEARS OF DEALING IN POLITICAL MEMORABILIA. WE DON’T EXPECT THIS ONE TO LAST! 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.
