Little help?
On election day this year my father gave me this FDR campaign button with the original ribbon. Neither one of us knows the value or rarity of the item, but I was hoping some of our readers might have a clue or point me in the right direction. Here it is: posted by Dennis on 12.15.04 at 10:20 AM

Dennis, Same button, similar ribbon for sale here Eric Scheie · December 15, 2004 02:53 PM Considering a Ronald Reagan "cowboy" button- the kind that was used on the RNC floor during his 1st nomination- is worh around $20-30, I'd suspect the FDR is worh somewhat more, though likely not much over $100. Do you have any idea which campaign the ribbon was for? Given the pic, I'd say his last or next-to, but I can't say for certain. Its also significant if it belonged to a delegate, etc. urthshu · December 15, 2004 11:16 PM Wait- I should say that I'm looking at it as "what I would charge" and then haggle afterwards. I don't think I could get $100 straight off, unless the person was absolutely thrilled with FDR. Chances are I could get up to $75 or so. There are political memerobilia books & also specialists. Possibly looking up your local antiquers would give you some better information. But I'll tell you: Typically, any price an antiquer gives you is under its worth, since they're trying to get it off you cheaply. urthshu · December 15, 2004 11:24 PM Thanks for all the help!
