Bill Clinton Arkansas Traveler

The Arkansas Traveler tradition goes back to the 19th Century and Col. Sanford Faulkner, who traveled around the state in 1840 and then started telling stories about life on the frontier. The honorary title is bestowed on friends of the state and in 1992 Bill Clinton’s followers adopted it as they spread out from Arkansas to back their man for president. This 2 1/4 inch celluloid is a rare and classic Clinton item in excellent condition from the Eavenson collection.
