Description
Add an authentic piece of American political history to your collection with this original, vintage 1962 Edward "Ted" Kennedy Senate campaign lapel pin. This highly collectible historical artifact marks Ted Kennedy’s very first successful campaign to fill the vacant U.S. Senate seat previously held by his brother, John F. Kennedy.
The tie clip is uniquely die-cut into the distinct silhouette shape of the state of Massachusetts. The front features a polished, bright gold-plated finish cleanly stamped with "KENNEDY" across the main body of the state and "'62" nestled over the Cape Cod region.
