Fobs evolved from the decorative ornaments once attached to pocket watch chains, and in the political world they became a tradition of their own — issued for candidates and inaugurations throughout the twentieth century. This example is new old stock, untouched for nearly fifty years, preserving a small piece of that tradition exactly as it was made.

A distinctive piece of American political history — a meaningful gift for a Carter admirer, a political memorabilia collector, a history enthusiast, or anyone who marks the moments that mattered.
