Now, I did at one time have a gen-you-ine FDR button, but I sacrificed it for a birthday present to a woman whose 1st vote was for FDR.

(that big yellow one in the center is for Frank Schwaiger...that may REALLY be rare. In fact, Frank himself may never have existed....the blue & white one that says "vote whatsisname" I got in Kansas City in '68. It was a local politician with an unpronouncable Polish name,..Mztczevowsz or something.)

I have a few more somewhere in drawers...THOSE kind of drawers, where everything gets stuffed that you can't find a place for.

I have that Johnson/Humphrey button. And several others - a JFK button too. I'll have to check on them tonight.

The Chongo Chimp campaign button is going to be the most collectible of all in about 20 or 30 years from now.

We have an exhibit of campaign buttons going up for the month of October at the library where I work. They're part of the collection owned by the university president.

Got my buttons all prepared

Who else collects stuff like this? (Those old ones are reproductions, but many are real)
