DescriptionA round pinback slogan button. Red text on a white background reads: NO / CROWN / FOR / FRANKLIN. The button is set into a circular, gold-colored metal frame from the bottom of which hangs a small, dark bronze-colored metal crown set with four colored rhinestones. Attached to the reverse of the button, and hanging down below it, are three lengths of ribbon - one each in blue, white, and red.
Label TextWhen FDR ran for an unprecedented third term as president in 1940, critics labeled him a potential dictator. Others argued a third term would lead to war.Additional Details
