Minnesota for Truman Committee

Look closely at this one – it’s a Harry Truman campaign pin you might not have seen before. This 1 inch celluloid is a Minnesota for Truman Committee button from 1948. It has a Western Badge of St. Paul, Minn. back paper. The committee must have done its job well – Truman won the state with more than 57 percent of the vote. This little gem is an unusual Truman treasure in excellent condition.
