Item Description
4" dia. cardboard holds smaller disk on back with brass center grommet. A small window appears between the words "I Like" and "For President" to enable wearer to dial in whichever candidate he chooses. GOP candidates are represented by Ike, MacArthur, Warren and Taft. Democrats are Russell, Herriman, Kefauver. Interesting to note that Adlai Stevenson is not one of the options on this item indicating that it was likely early in the campaign process. Text at bottom of badge reads "Courtesy Turco Chemical Processing Compounds." Top is holed as made with string attached. Interesting. First we've seen.
