Sizes are 5/8" to 1.25". Four of the buttons depict the catholic "Radio" priest Fr. Charles Coughlin. First includes name of his political program "Social Justice." Minor wear on the ribbon accent. Second is portrait button with lightly faded ribbon "Welcome Father Coughlin Head Of N.U.S.J." There is a second matching button which has a little rippling in the celluloid at lower right but otherwise both these buttons display Mint. At lower left is a rare portrait button of him. First we've seen. On the right side is a small litho with initials standing for Christian Front. Below this are two identical buttons reading "Christian Crusader." These may pre-date Coughlin by a little bit as one has a back paper reading "Christian Crusader Trademark" with a design patent date of 1920. Last is a rare small brass lapel stud with eagle above shield and text "America First." This was the largest group opposed to US entry into WWII. Tiny paint wear.
