This original large 1968 RFK campaign pin says...Vote For Our Next President ROBERT F. KENNEDY.
It measures 3 1/2 inches across. It's celluloid over paper and tin. It's in excellent vintage condition.
It's a rare vintage pin made for a rare man.
And here's a bit of RFK history....
Robert Francis Kennedy, also known as RFK, was an American politician and lawyer. He was the brother of John F. Kennedy and Ted Kennedy, also politicians.
RFK served as the 64th United States attorney general from January 1961 to September 1964, and as a U.S. senator from New York starting in January 1965.
On March 16, 1968, Robert Kennedy announced his candidacy for the Democratic presidential nomination. It was, in the words of Arthur Schlesinger Jr., "an uproarious campaign, filled with enthusiasm and fun... It was also a campaign moving in its sweep and passion." Indeed, he challenged the complacent in American society and sought to bridge the great divides in American life - between the races, between the poor and the affluent, between young and old, between order and dissent. His 1968 campaign brought hope to an American people troubled by discontent and violence at home and war in Vietnam. He won critical primaries in Indiana and Nebraska and spoke to enthusiastic crowds across the nation.
Robert Francis Kennedy was fatally shot on June 5, 1968 at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, California shortly after claiming victory in that state's crucial Democratic primary. He was 42 years old. Although his life was cut short, Robert Kennedy's vision and ideals live on today through the work of the Robert F. Kennedy Memorial in Washington, DC.
Like his brothers John F. Kennedy and Ted Kennedy, he was a prominent member of the Democratic Party and is considered an icon of modern American liberalism.
