I have in my collection the buttons you have in the top row, all but the two middle buttons in the second row, and the middle buttons in the third row. I'm surprised that political buttons are not more collectible than they are. My wife does a lot of "antiquing," but I rarely see political buttons in antique stores. And the ones I see I usually already have.

BTW, this site is an excellent site for buttons and other political memorabilia.

I have an old cigar box full of Nixon-Lodge and Kennedy-Johnson buttons, bumper stickers etc collecting dust in the basement. I'm donating them to the York County (PA) GOP Committee's future Museum.

Very cool.

I was fascinated at age 5 that when I turned my Nixon buttons upside down, they then spelled "NOXIN".

I only have one that belonged to my mother. It says "I like Ike." How impressive is that? LOL Guess I'm not much of a collector of campaign buttons. 8-)

I've still got my PT boat pin with Kennedy '60 engraved on it.

Now what, one might ask, am I doing with a Kennedy pin?

It was the summer of 1960 and the demonrat primary was to be held in LA. The good old lady across the street was a demonrat party regular and was concerned at my conservative slant on politics at the relatively young age of 15. So she took me to the convention to see if she could reorient me.

Didn't work.

But I did get a nifty pin.

I have an Adelai Stephenson pin. Wonder if it's worth anything.

I have a “Germans for President Nixon” button that a young co-worker found at a flea market and gave to me, knowing I was a Nixon fan. I also have an “I Like Ike” pin and I have no idea where it came from since I wasn’t born yet. My husband has a “Nixon – Now More Than Ever” bumper sticker under the glass on his desk.

I have a "Kennedy for Lifeguard" button from the 1976 RNC Convention. Also a "Betty's Husband for President" button and several Reagan '76 buttons. Another favorite from 1988 - "Dukakis will do the work of three men" with picture of Larry, Moe, and Curly. And Clinton/Gore NOT!

I recently found an old coin in my family's stuff - a 1936 Texas Centennial bronze lucky coin. On one side it says "Heads You Win" with a picture of Franklin Roosevelt and Texan John Garner, his VP, and on the other side "Tails You Lose" - the rear of an elephant. Hopefully this doesn't really mean that some of my ancestors were -- oh, the horror -- Democrats!
