One of the true iconic campaign buttons from the early 20th century. This Hughes-Fairbanks 1 1/4 inch celluloid from 1916 combines politics and the amazing new technological breakthrough of the age – flight. The pin actually has an attached little propeller on the front. No, it won’t fly buy you might feel like flying yourself if you are lucky to add it to your collection. This is the same pin that was in Chick Harris’ collection and is featured as the example in Hake’s book on political pins. A spectacular item in excellent condition.
