Buttons - Presidential Campaign - 1924

Keep Cool With Cal
Coolidge For President

Not an original pin. This came from a Farrell's Ice Cream Parlour, according to the info on the curl, probably in the early 1970s. 

Since we have many public offices coming up for primary and general elections, I thought I'd run some of the pins I have gathered over the years, mostly by accident. For some reason I have never thrown them out. Perhaps this is due to the fact they do not  take up a lot of room.

  1. Quick question -- did Phineas and Ferb steal the Floating Baby head from you, or did you both get it from some other source?

  2. Hmm. I looked into this. My Floating Baby Head first saw print in 1991 and has popped up now and again. It is possible the Phineas and Ferb creators saw this character in my nationally distributed Bezango Obscuro in 1994 before they launched their series in 2007. Or it could be a coincidence. It happens. I was unaware of this until you told me as I have never seen Phineas and Ferb. My Floating Baby Head character was inspired by a doll with a detachable head my daughter had. I would remove the head and sing the Floating Baby Head song to entertain her.
