Description
This is a 1955 EISENHOWER-JIM BIRR INDIANAPOLIS MAYORIAL 3 1/2″ COAT-TAIL BUTTON-RARE & NEAR-MINT! JIM BIRR WAS A BIT OF AN INDIANAPOLIS ICON. HE BOTH CREATED A POPULAR BASKETBALL TEAM, THE JIM BIRR ALLSTARS AND FOUNDED THE SUCCESSFUL MAGAZINE “MOVIE DIGEST”. DESPITE THESE ACCOMPLISHMENTS, HE LOST HIS BID FOR MAYOR. EISENHOWER WAS AN IMMENSELY POPULAR PRESIDENT, AND IT WAS UNUSUAL FOR AN ENDORSED REPUBLICAN TO LOSE AN ELECTION, ESPECIALLY IN A RED STATE LIKE INDIANA. THIS BUTTON IS THE FIRST AND ONLY WE HAVE EVER SEEN THAT CROSS-REFERENCES EISENHOWER ENDORSING BIRR’S CANIDACY! Our commitment is to provide you with quality coins and collectibles at the best possible prices. This piece is no exception. Please note, the coin and collectibles markets do fluctuate, and prices occasionally will change. In this rare circumstance, we will contact you first to verify your order.
