Spiro Agnew Nixon Button

"Aggies" is the nickname for Texas A&M University. Maroon is the A&M school color. A&M students and alums are rabid collectors of all kinds of aggie memorabilia, and I haven't seen any of this particular button for sale. I'm the original owner, and I believe it's from the 68 campaign when I was still in college in Texas, but it might be the 72 campaign. 2 1/4" Diameter. Excellent condition with some age wear on edges as shown in the picture. Back has some evidence of light wear but no rust and very shiny, pin is like new

Woodrow Wilson Poster

Submitted by Lynn:
We have recently acquired the Woodrow Wilson campaign poster shown in the attached photos, and have been trying to authenticate it. We have inspected the poster and there are no markings/stamps/dates/etc on it. The only text is what you see in the photos under President Wilson's photo. Obviously, if it is authentic, it would have been from the 1912 Presidential Election, since the poster states that he is "Governor of New Jersey" at the time.

Nixon Charm Bracelet

Submitted by Dan: I found besides mom's "Six Crises" souvenir of the Nixon gubernatorial campaign, I found this really kind of fun/cute charm bracelet that was, it seems, a campaign fave. It features a Republican elephant, five red/white/blue "shields" each with a letter "N" "I" "X" "O" "N" on them, then a blue outline of the state with "California" on it, all dangling from a wrist chain. I took a REALLY BAD photo (my camera won't focus close enough alas, and its not a huge item) and of course it is "junk" jewelry and there's no real gold or anything, but it is kind of unique in its detail for a probably-not-that-mass-produced campaign memory. I'm attaching the really BAD photo so you can see what I'm talking about.

Ulysses Grant Glass Item

Submitted by Lisa:
I am attempting to value an item my great aunt gave to me. She was a collector of diverse antiques. What she gave to me is a glass that had Ulysees S. Grant's face and name imprinted in the base of the glass, so that you would see this image after drinking to the bottom of the glass. It is definitely from the era, as it has the purplish cast that I've noticed in 1800s glass. There are no chips. The glass is between the size of today's rocks glass and a normal drinking glass. Do you have a guess as to its value? Thanks for your help.
