YOU HAVE A GREAT COLLECTION OF BUTTONS! I REALLY LIKE THE OLDER ONES!

Status: offline 		Cookie, my chocolate chip creme pie. You found all those buttons in a potato sack? We need to mix. I got a pickle's pile of Nixon buttons I collected in the early 1970s questioning the (then) Commander-in-Chief's integrity. "Impeach Nixon?" "Dick Nixon Before he Dicks You?" Yat Ta' Hey? You know the mantra if you are over 50. Great cool-ectabiles and keeping with the mentality that if you collect anything, you'll probably collect everything -- as long as you can relate the story to a rapt audience.

Status: offline 		I used to have a enormous collection of political campaign buttons.  I specialized in Teddy Roosevelt.  Sold the collection years ago for quite a lot of money.

Just like bottle collecting you have to watch out for fakes.  I believe it was the 70's when some company used the reproductions for promotions.  They reproduced buttons from all the previous elections.

My favorite pin from that era was - "Phase III Dump Nixon".
