Historic Presidential Collectibles from Saturday's Toys presents... a vintage LOT OF TWO presidential campaign buttons from 1952:
Both pin / buttons are in good condition with signs of wear from prior use and subsequent storage for the past seven decades.
Notably, the rare "I WANT A CHANGE" button (approx. .75") features the "Union Label" from Allied Printing Trade Council in Chicago, Illinois.
The second button in the lot (7/8") simply calls for "Ike and Dick." These simple campaign efforts ultimately led to a landslide victory over Illinois Governor Adlai Stevenson II in the 1952 presidential election.
Saturday’s Toys and Collectibles was founded in 1994 by Southern California author and media historian, Dave Mason. Soon after eBay's launch the following year, Saturday's Toys was among the first online specialists to strategize in embracing this rapidly developing technology. Having delivered over 15,000 coveted treasures since that time, Saturday's Toys is pleased to partner with researchers and collectors throughout the globe.
Today, online offerings of archival keepsakes are presented in celebration of the times that allow for family, friends and neighbors to join in memorable gatherings that nurture the strong connections that bind a community together. These treasures are affectionately represented by "Saturday's Toys." In that light we present our adopted motto (with a nod to the Sherman Brothers): "Oh, let's go fly a kite!"
We are glad to combine shipping for multiple purchases in order to reduce costs whenever possible. Simply let us know before processing payment for the items selected and we'll be glad to revise and forward a final invoice to reflect the combined shipping price.
This usually works most effectively when combining flat paper items (postcards, newsletters, ephemera, etc.) but we'll do our best to make any combined purchase provide your best value for shipping.
