DescriptionLenticular campaign pin that shows two different images depending from which angle the pin is viewed. This pin shows "KENNEDY" on a red, white and blue background from one angle and "For President" from another, in support of John F. Kennedy's bid for the presidency in 1960. The lenticular cardboard is inside a clear plastic case with a metal safety pin on the back. On the reverse side of the cardboard is black text on a white background reading, "Get Out And VOTE." In the bottom left corner beside this is a union logo and: "Cine-Vue / Yonkers, N. Y."
