Description

Collection of 19 pins associated with Alf Landon and his 1936 presidential campaign, most invoking a sunflower motif as he was governor of Kansas, the 'Sunflower State'; four retain their original cloth sunflower backers. Includes: two jugate portraits of Landon and vice presidential running mate Frank Knox; three portraits of Landon alone; and several variants of the GOP elephant and/or their names, encircled by sunflowers. In overall fine condition. The incumbent FDR handily defeated Landon in the election, taking 46 states (including Kansas) to Landon's two.
