Kennedy and his brother Robert F. Kennedy. Marked Copyright A. Fox 1968. Pastel rendering of the martyred brothers by noted artist Sanger (has Sanger signature). Sold as a memorial item following Robert's assassination in June 1968. These probably won't be around too long. You should order early on them. Unsold old store stock in great condition. $5.00 #PL111 - Group of 6 Different Richard Nixon Presidential Campaign Buttons You get all six different for $5. Vintage unused buttons from the 1968 and 1972 campaigns. They are in very good shape. Richard Nixon has always been popular with collectors and this is a good price on these as they are getting harder to find with each passing year. Average size is about 1" diameter. It's unlikely that we will ever be able to offer them at this price again. $5.00 #PL053 - Ruptured Duck Lapel Pin Vintage 3/4" wide. These are old originals still on their cardboard backing. The backing is rotting away on most of them, but the pins are mint. They depict an eagle (not a duck) inside a wreath. They were honorable service lapel pins that were an award given to United States military service members who were discharged under honorable conditions during World War II, and also served as proof to military police that its wearer was not absent without leave. The pins were awarded between September 1939 and December 1946 and are made of gilt brass. They were called the Ruptured Duck pins. I've found several "authoritative" explanations for why they were called Ruptured Duck. However, the explanations differ substantially, so I'm pretty certain that the reason for the name has been lost over time. Unused old stock. $2.00 #PL068 - Large Richard Nixon Autographed Photo Vintage 10" tall Richard Nixon photo with inset picture of the White House and copy signature. These were produced by AAA novelty in Washington D.C. (marked on the reverse) for the 1968 Nixon campaign. Unused old stock found in their warehouse in unused condition. They are not common in this large size. $1.00 #PL060 - Sock it to 'em Spiro Pinback Vintage 1 3/4" diameter pinback that says "Sock it to 'em Spiro". These are interesting. They were made in 1968 by AAA novelty in Washington D.C. and are a reference to a 1968 cameo appearances of Richard Nixon on the Laugh In show which aired just before the general election. Richard Nixon deadpanned, "Sock it to me?" on the show. Many credit that appearance on Laugh-In as pushing Nixon over the top to get elected to the presidency. His opponent Hubert H. Humphrey declined the invitation. Spiro, of course, refers to Spiro Agnew, who was running with Nixon as his Vice President. $1.50 #PL052 - I Hate Everybody Nikita Khruschev 4 Inch Pin Vintage 4" diameter pinback. These are extremely rare. There was only one small box of these found at AAA novelty in Washington D. C. and we have them all. Here is the description from Hake's Auction of one that sold there recently for $125.24 - Boldly captioned "I Hate Everybody" and likely issued just after his 1960 appearance at the United Nations General Assembly in which he pounded a table with a shoe. Curl reads "AAA Novelty Co. Wash. D.C." Rare and essentially Mint. - They do have a few extremely minor scuffs from being moved around in the box, but you will find none better as these are all there are. $20.00 #NE023 - United We Shall Overcome Bumper Sticker Vintage 7 3/8" wide bumper stickers made from the mid to late 1960s. Picture of black and white shaking hands. Unused stock found in storage at AAA Novelty in Washington, D.C. They have the famous slogan "We Shall Overcome" slogan on them which was the anthem for the Civil Rights Movement between 1954 and 1968. "We Shall Overcome" was first sung by striking tobacco workers in Charleston, South Carolina, in 1945 and was a very powerful uniting force. Excellent condition. These are the only examples we've ever seen in excellent and still useable condition. $1.50 #PL043 - Group of 2 different Johnson Button Proof Sheets You get the two sheets for $2 (that's $1.00 each). All together, there are 18 button proofs on the sheets. So, that only comes to about 11¢ per proof! The one sheet has 6 picture button proofs of Johnson and 6 picture button proofs of a cowboy hat that says "LBJ" on it (these sheets have the plastic coating on them and were ready for stamping. The other sheet has six picture proofs for Johnson and Humphrey. Old unused stock from the Oleet Bros in Mt Vernon, NY. Circa 1968. $2.00 #PL065 - Dump the Hump Protest Button Vintage 1 3/4" diameter pinbacks made in 1968 to protest Hubert Humphrey's support for the Vietnam War. It was an unlikely stance from a left wing liberal candidate for the presidency. But, he held a hard line about it. These were worn at protest rallies during that time period. They were made in several styles. All of them are uncommon. $1.50 #PL112 - Wallace Lemay Campaign Buttons Vintage 1" diameter unused buttons from the 1968 presidential campaign. You don't often find Wallace buttons with his running mate Lemay's name on them. Wallace ran with Lemay in 1968 when they received 13.5 percent of the popular vote, which was more than any other third party candidate had ever gotten in the United States. They carried 5 states for a total of 46 electoral votes. Lemay was one of the reasons they didn't do even better as in 1962 (he was a general at that time), he had clashed with President John F. Kennedy and Defense Secretary McNamara, arguing that he should be allowed to bomb nuclear missile sites in Cuba. When running for vice president in 1968 LeMay opined that he, unlike many Americans, clearly did not fear using nuclear weapons. This did not go over well with the American public. $1.50 #PL113 - Large Silent Majority Button from the Nixon Era Vintage unused 1 3/4" Silent Majority button. These were made right after Richard Nixon's famous "Silent Majority" speech on November 3, 1969 when he addressed the nation and said "And so tonight -- to you, the great silent majority of my fellow Americans -- I ask for your support." The topic he was speaking on was Vietnam. The speech sounds hauntingly like the Iraq situation today. Here is an excerpt from it "But the question facing us today is: Now that we are in the war, what is the best way to end it? In January I could only conclude that the precipitate withdrawal of American forces from Vietnam would be a disaster not only for South Vietnam but for the United States and for the cause of peace. For the South Vietnamese, our precipitate withdrawal would inevitably allow the Communists to repeat the massacres which followed their takeover in the North 15 years before; They then murdered more than 50,000 people and hundreds of thousands more died in slave labor camps." In the end, the withdrawal happened and the long term consequences were not as dire as anyone had thought they would be. Hmm........ $1.50 #PL114 - Smaller Silent Majority Button from the Nixon Era Vintage unused 1 1/4" Silent Majority button. These were made right after Richard Nixon's famous "Silent Majority" speech on November 3, 1969 when he addressed the nation and said "And so tonight -- to you, the great silent majority of my fellow Americans -- I ask for your support."

Nice shape. Neat political collectible. These are leftovers that I got from a fellow who sold them at Clinton rallies. $3.00 #PL100 - JFK Coin Vintage 1 1/8" diameter aluminum Kennedy coin. The scan doesn't it justice because of the glare but they are good quality. The front says John Fitzgerald Kennedy, 35th president, 1917-1963. The reverse shows wheat stalks with the famous slogan between them that reads "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country". These were produced and sold right after the assassination. If you purchase more than one, you will get up to three different colors. Very good condition $1.00 #ZLC056 - Statue California Batletts Label Vintage 11" wide label from the Suisun Valley Fruit Growers Association in Suisun, CA. Very colorful label with a great patriotic image of the statue of liberty. Marked copyright 1927 on the label. However, they were used into the 1940s.
