Item Description
5.5" on cardboard. Holed at the top as made. Moderate surface wear and handling, most notably some even age toning and scattered light staining, as well as some scattered creasing. VF. A unique item made for and worn by Roy Marcato, a member of JFK's campaign staff. John Hillhouse Collection.
Roy Marcato worked in the Alabama Bureau of Publicity and Information and was known for his ability to film and put together TV spots. Speaking of Marcato to the JFK Library Gov. John Patterson noted the JFK campaign
"had trouble with their television distribution. They had trouble where Mr. Kennedy would speak at one place and go on to another town, they had trouble getting the essential part of his speech they wanted to get across filmed and then reproduce that quick and then bicycled around to the various stations in the area... Roy had done this for me during my campaign... He could put a TV thing together right quick and get it out. He knew what to film and how to edit it and cut it."
