Description: Made in in 1963 in Tempe, Arizona for an obscure bookstore during the run-up to the 1964 presidential election, this 3 3/8" x 12.5" bumper sticker mocked President John F. Kennedy's famous Massachusetts accent. Most people at the time anticipated a political match-up between conservative Arizona republican U.S. Senator, Barry Goldwater and JFK's running for re-election, and there were a few dozen early items put out promoting Goldwater that were decidedly disparaging. After all, politics ain't beanbag and going negative on your opponent goes clear back in American history to the two contests between John Adams and Thomas Jefferson when political parties evolved. These items and the few pro-JFK examples which are dated for 1964 are highly sought after by political collectors. Since no one anticipated the terrible events which occurred in Dallas, Texas on November 22, 1963, how could anyone imagine these things were to seem in particularly poor taste? Needless to say, most everything was immediately withdrawn from circulation after JFK's assassination, with a lot of it being destroyed, making anything remaining, today, fairly rare. And here's one of those items. It is in nice condition but please look at our images to judge condition for yourself so you can be happy with your purchase. S & H on this will be $5.50 sent well-protected with tracking. We are members of APIC and sell only authentic presidential (and other collectible) material so buy with confidence, and we'll be happy to combine S & H costs on multiple purchases even though eBay says we won't.
