    Okay I thought I was done uploading my Vietnam buttons however I dug out a few from storage and bought a few more so here are yet 3 more Vietnam Protest Buttons, I'm sure most all know that you can click on any image to get a closer view.

    1st - Mobilization to STOP MASS MURDER in Vietnam April 15th 1967 San Francisco and New York, 1.500 diameter.

    2nd - Sat. Oct. 31 March. Rally To End The War Now! New York Peace Action Coalition, 1.750 diameter, curl (edge) reads:
    Send Contributions to - NYPAC, 137A West 14th Street NYC 10011 - (212) 924-0894

    3rd - Moratorium October 13, 1971, Orange version, 1.750 diameter.

    These 3 are from The Marshall Levin collection of pinbacks, When he died, his Greenwich Village apartment was filled with precisely organized and categorized filing cabinets and hundreds of cigar boxes filled with thousands upon thousands of buttons he spent forty years, c. 1960 to 2000 amassing the world's largest button collection, Marshall was the ultimate collector when it came to the breadth of collection topics and the background information he found on most of the items in his collection he was known for keeping great records about the where when and why each button was made. A Social Progressive of the First Order, Marshall personally attended many of the rallies that the pinbacks, especially the political and cause related represent. Marshall collected everything in pinback buttons and had a professional & personal relationship with most or all the NYC button makers where he would buy a dozen or more buttons as they were released as a result thousands of like new mint condition button were preserved and are now finding there way to the market.
    I've been lucky enough to have acquired several from that collection that have become the corner stones and pride of my collection and being a bit of a mint freak I thank Marshall Levin for preserving such a large part of pinback history.
