Trying to finish up-loading the Vietnam buttons currently in my collection, I'm guessing I have about 6 or 8 more to go.
All 4 are Lithograph's (Ink printed on metal with no mylar cover) Most I've uploaded are Celluloid (Printed on paper with a plastic mylar cover)
1st - I Support Vietnam Veterans Against The War, another from Vets for Peace. 1.750 diameter.
2nd - U.S. Out of Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam, Laos! from SMC = Student Mobilization Committee, 1.750 diameter.
3rd - VIETNAM for the VIETNAMESE -SPU , from the Student Peace Union a nationwide student organization with headquarters near the University of Chicago.
Founded in 1959, the SPU was active on college campuses around the country until the group dissolved in the Spring of 1964. , 1.250 diameter.
4th - Snob for Peace, Nixon /Agnew, 1.750 diameter.
What did "SNOB" stand for ?
Hey blunderbuss2 how ya been
The Snob buttons came from protesters fighting back to Vice President Spiro Agnew's depiction of the student anti-war protesters of the 60s as "effete intellectual snobs.
Peace
P.S. - Define effete: lacking strength, courage, or spirit
Snob = Paris Hilton The Olson Twins Tori Spelling lol
