Roosevelt Campaign Buttons

This project was assigned to me by the boss' wife for a gift to both of her sons. 

It took about three months to collect over 70 antique campaign buttons to add to her collection of buttons that had been passed down through the family. 



After I collected the buttons, I put them in date order and separated them into two different groups--one for each of the sons. 


The larger button in the top left photo is about the size of my hand (fingers included). 

  

To give you and idea of how much these two pieces are worth together--each individual button averages at a price around $75.00 per button... You do the math!
