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.

George Washington Banner

Submitted by Randy: This has forty five stars which corresponds with 1896 (120 Celebration) and number of states. It looks like it is printed on a very fine cloth. It does have water stains and age spots. Someone put it in a blue frame. It looks authentic but I am not an expert. Please tell me what you think. I could not find a similar one on the internet Thanks. If you can help Randy please click on the comments button.

Nixon Agew "Divided We Fall" Medallion

Submitted by Dana: Over the summer I had stopped at an estate sale and purchased a jewelry box in which I had found a bronze presidential medallion. The medallion is a raised impression of Nixon, with the name Spiro on the side. At the bottom it says, "Divided we fall". There is so stamping or signature to know the make or where it came from. I've done some research and can't find anything that is even similar to it, so I was hoping you could help. Attached are photos of the medallion. If you can help Dana by providing information please click on the comment button. Thanks!
