Description
Franklin Roosevelt: Four Early Democratic Ribbon Badges (Circa 1928-1940). A fine and varied group of Franklin D. Roosevelt campaign badges, combining several scarce downstate New York Democratic pieces from the early years of his gubernatorial and presidential campaigns.The lot includes a large 3½" portrait button reading "Support Your President," with an attached oilcloth ribbon inscribed "Vote Straight Democratic – Fight the Wage Tax." Accompanying it are two Tammany Hall ribbons, one featuring the 1928 New York Democratic slate - the election in which Roosevelt made his celebrated political comeback, winning the governorship and paving the way for his 1932 presidential victory.
The fourth piece, a 1 ¼" portrait button (matching the portrait in the larger example), is affixed to a silk ribbon reading "Elect Roosevelt Committee – Louis Halperin Ass'n." The Louis Halperin Association was a Newark, New Jersey–area Democratic club active from at least the early 1940s, known for its strong pro-Roosevelt stance. An important selection of rare badges!
Condition: Light staining, creasing and wear to the ribbons, the celluloid pieces are excellent. Overall, very good and visually appealing.
