Item Description
3.5” button picturing police baton and bomb with burning fuse plus the inscription “I’m A Chicago Conspiracy Booster.” This button was likely sold by vendors at the Chicago trial which included defendants Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, David Dellinger, Tom Hayden and several others including Bobby Seale who was the 8th defendant but had his trial severed from the proceedings. Button has 1/8” nick on the left side edge removing a dot of red color although this is barely visible from the front. Front surface does have quite a few all-over hairline scratches but they are not deep and mostly just show in reflected light. Button still displays extremely Fine. We’ve seen only about 3 examples.
