Anderson Auction #218

Lot #1500:

Vote McCarthy and Lowenstein

Allard Lowenstein and Eugene McCarthy made an interesting duo. Lowenstein is credited with talking Eugene McCarthy into challenging Lyndon Johnson in the 1968 primaries. He later became a congressman and in 1980 was shot and killed in his New York office. This scarce 1-inch celluloid puts McCarthy and Lowenstein together on the same pin. Excellent condition.
