Description
Alf Landon: Dramatic 2 1/8" "Notification" Pinback. For decades it was considered unseemly for presidential aspirants to attend national conventions and pander for votes. Accordingly, it was the custom for delegations to visit the nominees at their homes to formally notify them of their selection. Usually such visits were accompanied by throngs of supporters, and turned into enthusiastic campaign rallies. To our recollection, 1936 was the last year for this charming custom, and the occasion gave rise to the production of this wonderful Landon centerpiece. It is also found in a much less imposing 1ΒΌ" version, but this form is much rarer and more impressive. The button itself is in great condition. The original felt sunflower has light even soiling, and could probably be cleaned easily if one felt the need.Auction Info
