Boy does this seem topical considering what went on in Berkeley this past week...
#20 ~ 1960s UCLA & UC Berkeley Activist's Period Pinback Collection with his personal story. This means much more to me as a historical archive than it would have if I had bought the buttons one at a time from a variety of sources. These are are important to me as a collector from the "value" I put in having the provenance. Quite the story - an actual friend of Timothy Leary! ...This does not condone or condemn the movement, it is being preserved for it's historical importance... And this fab grouping makes my top twenty as of Jan 1, 2017.
I condone the movement! LOVE the buttons! (The instigators were Breitbart paid professional agitators, BTW!).
I wasn't paid.
Funny how contemporary the conversation gets with 40-45 year old buttons. ;-)
Yes it is, Hippie! Blunderbuss - were you one of the dressed in all black, masked, backpack wearing agitators?
It's like we are back in the 60's, but WORSE.
i agree Celiene. it is worse these days. lots of misinformation out there. i have a lot of pro-pot memorabilia somewhere in my stuff - including lots from the Prop. 215 movement which i was intimately involved in - the medical marijuana movement. i'm going to clean out my warehouse when the weather warms/dries out and i'll post them here.
Celiene, I don't remember if I wore any of that, but I don't remember much between 1963 and '73. If you remember, you weren't there. Now. What were we talking about?
Leary oh Leary GREAT find. Celiene now ya know why I call him BLUNTer can't fool a fool.
Peace
I'm sure you know some are less common then others, I think the "I Love Mary Jane, the Green Power and the Acapulco {gold} are the less seen buttons nice to see them all together with a proper background, I tried to keep a Thai stick for historical importance however somehow Poof it was gone.
Peace
