Anderson Auction 199

Lot #54:

Alaska Needs Lyndon Johnson

Lyndon Johnson came from the big state of Texas. This celluloid pin was made to show that voters in the really, really big state of Alaska supported him. It worked: LBJ captured nearly two-thirds of Alaska’s votes in 1964. This rare 1 1/2 inch celluloid has long been considered a top Johnson item and is from the Al Anderson collection. Excellent.
