Description

The listing, 1936 1940 Wayland BROOKS Governor ILLINOIS SENATOR election political campaign pin-back button GOP has ended.

Born 1897 died 1957 Charles Wayland BROOKS was the unsuccessful Republican candidate for Governor of ILLINOIS in 1936, he was then elected United States Senator in 1940 to fill a seat vacated by Senator Lewis and was reelected in 1942, serving until 1949. (He was not re-elected in 1948.)

This is a 7/8" lithographed pinback button, pin badge that promoted the election of BROOKS on a state map of ILLINOIS.

A nice political campaign pin, however, it has some alligatoring of the lithographed paint. The reverse gold is very clean as made by GERAGHTY of Chicago, IL.
