Item Description
2.75" w/hollow tin back and horizontal bar pin. Craze lines at extreme outer edge 3 o'clock. Otherwise moderate wear in reflected light. Technically VF but displaying above grade. MacArthur spent five and a half years in Japan beginning w/the occupation in 1945. His title was Supreme Commander For The Allied Powers and he pretty much ran the show. This button likely dates to his 1948 presidential hopeful effort. Rare.
