Item Description
2.75x7" card w/four tabs, three lithos and three cello buttons. Of particular note is the large button on top. 2.25" w/Midwest Badge on curl. A particularly clean and bright example w/only minor surface wear. NM. One of the top Dewey buttons in the hobby, and a high grade example at that.  Also of note is the cello jugate. This unlisted jugate features a portrait of running mate Earl Warren in the left prominent position. Also bright and clean w/only minor wear. NM. Other tabs and pins have light scattered wear and are VF to Exc. Sample card has moderate wear. VF. An incredible survivor from the 1948 campaign that features two of the top Dewey cellos. Perhaps a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. John Hillhouse Collection.
