Item Description
This group of 19 is primarily from the early 1960s into the early 1990s with the exception of the three "Sophie Tucker For President" buttons which are 1950s. First two of these are clean while the third cello has some lt. tan stain. Buttons range in size from 1.25" "Curly For President" to 3.5" "Pitts For President." One of the most interesting buttons in this group is a 1-3/8" litho reading "Papoon For President 'Not Insane.'" This references the comedy group Firesign Theater and is c. 1972 although we are not sure if it relates to a comedy record album or a film. Couple of small paint rubs on the rim but still glossy and Fine. Other items in order top to bottom and left to right, skipping ones already mentioned are "The Committee To Save The Cocktail Hour" with image of W.C. Fields. Next in row one is "Elect Buckwheat." This is from 1984 and has realized $50-$70 when offered individually in the past. (See vintage Our Gang items #1592-1593). Next c. 1980s button reads "Spanky For President." Next is "Belle Starr For President '84." Next are two buttons for porn star "Linda Lovelace For President." Next is one for "Granny '72" with Playboy copyright. Next is for "The Music Man/The People's Choice/Forrest Tucker." Next is for Billy Jack. Next is for Robert Redford. Next is 3.5" "Cary Grant" from 1968. Next is 3" showing Eddie Murphy. Next is cartoon version "Pitts For President" followed by 3.5" photo version. Unless noted otherwise items are Exc. to Mint.
