Rosie and "Cactus Jack"

Just wanted to share this 1933 campaign pin I found earlier this week. I admit I had to do some research in order to establish ID on John Nance Garner The pin badge was made by Green Duck Co. in Chicago. Thanks for looking and have a great detecting weekend

John earned the nickname "cactus jack" when he fervently supported the bill for prickly pear cactus being the State flower for Texas (bluebonnet eventually won):
