Assorted ephemera from a recent haul

Started a new job substituting and am kinda brain dead but trying my best, there’s going to be a big celebratory giveaway here soon for hitting 1,000 members so keep your eyes peeled for that- not sure if I should do a few lots at once or stagger them? Let me know if you have an opinion on it.

Popular Adlai Stevenson buttons from his two presidential runs

This was Adlai Stevenson II (The first was Vice President under Cleveland). Adlai III was also a politician. The family is all the way up to Adlai Stevenson V but last I saw he doesn’t plan to continue on the name.

Info on upcoming APIC affiliated shows

Shows are a great way to meet local collectors and sellers as well as grab up some good deals (can’t beat the free shipping these days)

I’m super rural so Canton is the one event a year I know will be close enough that I can make it, so I obviously encourage that one so I can meet all my button friends in real life (last I checked I’m the only Lexi in APIC so if you ever see me around irl or the button pages say hi) Jack Dixey is great if anyone is interested in a vendor table hit him up he’ll take care of you.

Assorted 3D McGovern items

It’s fun to make people guess what the pair on the left is. They’re………. Clips to hold the bottom of your bell bottoms back while you ride a bike! Anyone guess that?

One of my favorite pieces of ephemera- from a Gloria Steinem event in support of George McGovern

I found out Gloria passed away while I was at a wake for a local activist. Rough night.
