Really exciting find in choice condition. Unused Deadstock Vintage 1960s Greenwich Village N.Y.C. <sic> Hippie Buttons Head Shop Stand-Up Store Display with 50 pinbacks still attached to the card. Was told by the seller this dates from 1967 which by all signs seems right.
The button list is as follows:
(10) THE PARANOIDS ARE AFTER ME
(10) I AM A HUMAN BEING DO NOT FOLD,SPINDLE OR MUTILATE
(10) IF IT MOVES FONDLE IT
(10) MAKE LOVE NOT WAR
(10) CANCER CURES SMOKING
Very nice. I collect George Wallace buttons, I live in Alabama. I've got some anti-Wallace/Lemay buttons in my collection that are pretty rare. I think they would fit in with what you collect, I'll have to break them out and post them. I really respect the uniqueness of the items you post. It's refreshing to see something original. I can relate to your stuff I remember the 60's-70's era guite well.
Nice to hear from you Toyrebel. Thanks, I am trying to find items that speak to the times and will make more sense in context than seen alone. I see a lot of anti-Nixon buttons, not so much Wallace & General Lemay .
