Lot #72:

Johnson and Speck Born to Raise Hell

This 1 ¼-inch celluloid is on our list of the most stone-cold campaign pins of all time. Richard Speck was a mass murderer who killed eight student nurses in Chicago in 1968. This pin suggests he and Lyndon Johnson would make a good presidential ticket in 1968 because they both were “born to raise hell." Excellent condition.
