American Political Items Collectors (APIC) will be exhibiting over 150 years of political memorabilia at its annual Political Memorabilia Show & Sale at the San Marino Masonic Center, 3130 Huntington Drive, San Marino (Pasadena), CA. This annual show is an opportunity for the public to discover the value of political treasures, see interesting displays of political memorabilia, 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 dairy 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. Free political buttons will be given to children. Appraisals are also or call 818-644-9231.
