Item Description
First is 1.5" naming "Kelley." Next are both 2.25" with no maker name. They have silver metal backs with bar pins of the same style. The first shows caricature of McGovern who is wearing a "Love" button and raising his pointed finger with surrounding slogan "Mel Anderson Is Number #2 (the design could be interpreted as a one, but we're leaning to the two side). Back of the button has small inked sticker probably added by a collector at the time. Reads "Rockford, Ill./State Rep. Cand. (39 made)" Final button names the coattail "Welsh." All three are NM to Mint and display Mint. Julie Powell Collection.
