Item Description
6" with folding cardboard stand insert on reverse and bar pin at top. Text reads "Like To Win?" "Benjamin Harris Co., Inc. Is Right On The Button!" and features graphics of a donkey and elephant along with pictures of the four 1960 primary candidates and the sitting president and his wife. Produced in an extremely small quantity by the Harris Co. as a promotional item early in the 1960 campaign cycle. Moderate overall surface wear that is not unusual for buttons of this size. Additionally a 1/16" triangular nick at 3 o'clock on the extreme edge and a .75x2.75" long horizontal air mark that goes from the edge through Rockefeller to just above the donkey that is seen mostly in reflected light. VF. We are aware of only one other sale of this button in the past two decades. A truly rare and interesting piece of American campaign history.
