Roosevelt & Curley: Dramatic Coat-Tail Jugate
<B>Roosevelt & Curley: A Dramatic Large Coat-Tail Jugate From the 1932 Campaign.</B></I> This 2 1/8" design is considered by many to be one of the most beautiful of all jugate buttons. It also comes in a Roosevelt-Garner version, deemed by most to be the best FDR jugate. Curley was the mayor of Boston and a powerful political boss. Usually with buttons of this type the local candidate is seeking to ride on the coat-tails of the presidential candidate. In the case of this issue, it might well have been the other way around.<BR><BR>It comes in two versions, the other reading "Economic Security" at the top. This is the scarcer version, in excellent shape but for several trivial surface bumps.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Miscellaneous Collectibles, Smal (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
