Item Description
1.75". Featuring Stevenson, the elder statesman on a bluetone background. After getting the nomination in 1952 and 1956, some Democrats felt that the third time was the charm and drafted him in 1960. Stevenson ultimately finished fourth in the balloting at the 1960 Convention, w/JFK easily winning the Democratic nomination. Stevenson went on to serve as the UN Ambassador during the Kennedy Administration until his unexpected death in London in 1965. Slightly bumpy surface that is only seen in reflected light. Otherwise only minor surface wear. Glossy. Exc. John Hillhouse Collection.
