Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Dr. Benjamin Spock are pictured on this 1968 celluloid button. King’s work for civil rights and Spock’s opposition to the Vietnam War made them a famous pairing for an alternative political ticket. Actually Peace and Freedom party was proposing them as a ticket. This rare sample 1 3/4 inch celluloid made by Wendell's in Minneapolis has twice brought over $500. The Pin was made before King’s assassination in April of 1968. Excellent condition. Consignor wants to sell so starting price adjusted.
