Election Season... with a hint of vintage

Every night, televisions across the country turn to the nightly news to see which GOP candidate has taken the lead in the primaries. Every ten minutes it seems a new revelation as surfaced about a candidate and the scoreboard gets all shook up again. This has been happening year after year for decades and the jewelry industry took notice.


Back in the late 1950s Trifari (known then as Crown Trifari) put out a 2 pin set of political buttons, an elephant and donkey. Finding them as a set is extremely difficult to come across as many women only purchased the pin for which they were affiliated.

When I cam across the elephant pin, I knew I had found something special. With the political season in full force, many Americans are looking for a way to show their political pride. This pin would be perfect for someone who loves politics and vintage jewelry. A beautiful addition for any collector.
