Cleveland Stevenson Campaign Ribbon

Submitted by Pat: I am attaching a photo of a Cleveland/Stevenson campaign ribbon I came across while cataloging some post-Civil War regimental reunions ribbons of my great-grandfather's. He served in the Tennessee 20th Regiment and Peter Turney was a colonel in the 1st Tennessee Regiment who was elected governor of TN. Looks like he ran on the same ribbon since his name was inked in:) If you can help Pat with additional information or value. Please click on the comment button. Thanks!

Barry Goldwater Ashtray

Submitted by Maureen: I have a Fostoria or Fenton Crystal ashtray from Sen. Goldwater’s final campaign for re-election to the Senate. It is clear, with the Senate Seal at the bottom and his signature etched on the bottom as well. I was given this as a thank you gift for volunteer work on that campaign. Can you tell me what this may be worth? If you can help Maureen please click on the comment button.

Stick It Nixon Stickers

Submitted by Sian: I have a set of stickers (four sheets) entitled “stick it Nixon”. I am attaching a scan of the first page and a scan of an insert which shows all the stickers in the collection. I don’t want to scan the actual pages as it would mean breaking the booklet. They were printed in NZ for Sticker Books International Ltd and distributed by Imaginative Books International (inc) Las Vegas Nevada. I have searched the web and cannot find anything re these so I presume they are rare. I have one complete booklet in perfect condition and another with three sheets and one sticker missing. I am presuming that they relate to Watergate. can you help Sian? Please click the comment button.
