Next there is a small gold colored metal ''LBJ'' jewelry pin. The back section is included.
Next is a colorful flashing flicker or lenticular button. The button changes from ''LBJ'' to ''FOR THE USA''. We are not sure if this was attached to something or had a pin on the back or not. There is no pin on the paper backing now.
All of these items for one price! To judge the pencil measures 7-1/2'' long. These items appear to range from excellent to mint condition as pictured.
