Item Description
2.5" w/metal back and horizontal bar pin. Bold text featuring the chemical symbol for gold and water. Light wear only in reflected light. Exc. Just over the border about a half hour drive from Cumberland, MD, the town of Keyser had a population of just over 6,000 in the 1960 census report. This small population combined w/the fact that Goldwater only garnered 32% of the statewide vote in a resounding defeat to LBJ make it likely that only a few of these buttons were produced by dedicated supporters at the grass roots level. The first we've seen in our 55 years.
