The listing, Early Smile Face campaign tab DONAHEY Treasurer 1st Ohio woman elected statewide has ended.
Offered is an early vintage button tab use of the happy smiley face in a political election campaign. It promoted the re-election of Gertrude Walton Donahey (1908 - 2004) for State Treasurer of Ohio. She served as the first woman elected to statewide office in Ohio from 1971 until 1983.
Interestingly her husband, John, served as Lieutenant Governor and her father-in-law, Victor, as Governor and US Senator from Ohio.
This mint condition election campaign button, badge, pin or pinback tab was manufactured by Dalo Button Co. as noted on the top bendable tab.
I am offering this from my collection. I am a member of the American Political Items Collectors (APIC us) and only offer original campaign items.
