| "Win with MacArthur," 2-1/2" X 1-3/4" plastic bust of General Douglas MacArthur, attached to a pinback with the legend "Win with MacArthur." This item is probably from the 1952 Republican Presidential contest, although General MacArthur was prominently mentioned for President as early as 1948. MacArthur was the hero of the battle for the Philippines and the Commander of the UN forces in Korea before being fired by Harry Truman. He was a staunch conservative and eloquent public speaker who coined the phrase "Old soldiers never die. They just fade away." A great item. It is partially colored with a pinkish/brown tint. MacArthur items are getting increasingly scarce. |
