Item Description
1.25" with back paper of Kim & Cioffi who were novelty wholesalers at that time on 15th St.   ( 28 years later  I bought RFK and ROCKY buttons from their Market & 22nd St. wholesale business). In addition by intention or chance, the spring pin holds two ribbons in the University of Pennsylvania school colors (just a bit darkened with age).   Pioneering campaign item dealer Sam Hoffman, who literally  swept  the convention hall  floors afterwards to gather badges, missed this one. Cello is gloss and Exc. Rare.
