Wow! Love that inauguration button!! Lucky you! Congrats. -Lisa & John
 

Congratualtions on the very nice finds!
 

What a great button with great timing! Now, I've always been naturally into history as I'm sure many members are, however, the mentioning of Andrew Jackson represents a shakeup of politics almost 200 years ago. With similar undertones of our current election process, I think this button underscores a period of American politics similar to our current one. 1824 and 1828 were two shaky elections in American history

Here are a few links:

Great finds Toast! Congats

Yes I believe Jackson was the first to use such campaign paraphernalia as this button is quite valuable in non dug condition

Congrats on digging those keepers toasted. :occasion14: I hope to dig some cool buttons someday, maybe on the next trip back east in the spring.
