Dwight Eisenhower peace, progress, prosperity 7/8 inch celluloid, excellent condition. Robin Powell has sent us information on this pin, which appears to be part of a set made in the 1960s: "Our information is Columbia Advertising first issued political buttons in 1962. So we have long regarded the 15/16” Ike pin as a member of the Columbia Advertising set, issued in 1965. One collector we know of disagrees. For at least 25 years we've asked collectors to show us a pre-1962 genuine CA item and none has turned up. Construction is identical to that of the other 15/16” CA set items, ncluding the jugate that represents the one repin in the group. CA disclaimer on curl. Please let us know if you have or know of evidence to the contrary."
