A project I want to take on- finding all the candidates in this ‘72 set

I only have these two but know there are more, decided I was going to start gathering them but they’ve been more few and far between than I expected

Button/Memorabilia Giveaway!

We just hit 300 members! It doesn’t sound like much but that was a dream when it was just me in here talking to myself before everyone else showed up. So we’re celebrating with a McGovern giveaway! Comment a number between 1-100 below to enter, that’s it. Just be a member and comment your number. If this goes well I have 2 more lots for future giveaways- in case you’re not a McG fan.

If anyone accidentally copies a claimed number the first comment will get it and the second will be bumped up a digit.

Winner will be announced on Friday, May 22, submissions allowed until the draw.

And yes that’s a McGovern necklace in the middle, good stuff.

Assorted Community Chest buttons, common during Great Depression

These buttons were distributed by communities in an effort to encourage grass roots aid during the Great Depression when many struggled. Some of my favorite non political buttons.

No smalls of this that I’ve ever seen but there is a numbered version, not sure why this one doesn’t have a number if you do let me know.
