Nov 6, 2021, San Marino. Political Memorabilia Show and Sale, San Marino Masonic Center, 3130 Huntington Drive, San Marino (Pasadena), California. The event is sponsored by American Political Items Collectors, a non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation of our political history as well as education. This annual show is an opportunity for the public to discover the value of political treasures, see interesting displays of political memorabilia from the past 150 years, and learn about the politics through campaign buttons, posters, flags, and other ephemera from the 2020 political campaign back to the 1860s when Abe Lincoln became the first Republican president. The public may bring in political items for free appraisals. Hidden in attics, trunks, and cigar boxes, many political collectibles are gathering dust while their owners are unaware of their value. Previous appraisals have uncovered such valuable finds as vintage JFK campaign posters, Teddy Roosevelt presidential autographs, Civil War diary and letters, and rare FDR buttons. The political campaign button is an American original and people who collect political memorabilia are fascinated by American history. While some buttons can sell for thousands of dollars, many buttons can be acquired by new collectors for a dollar or two. APIC will be providing free political buttons to children, along with the free appraisals, and there will also be an auction in the early afternoon. SH: 10am-3pm. ADM: $3; free admission for children and students with ID. For more info, call 818-644-9231 or visit www.apic.us.
