avv/gs set 10/22 #716716

UNIONVILLE, CONN. — The American Political Items Collectors (APIC), Unionville Chapter, will hold a show-and-tell meeting featuring campaign buttons, postcards, ribbons, stickers and political memorabilia on Saturday, October 27, from 9 am to 1 pm at the Union School, School Street.

Many dealers and collectors from Connecticut and surrounding states will have current national and local candidates’ items of interest from governors, senators and town election to famous national buttons from years gone by. There will also be advertising collectibles, movie star, cowboy and Disney items and collectible space-type memorabilia.

Since many of the dealers are professional collectors of the APIC, free appraisals will be offered by the members to persons bringing individual buttons or collections to the show.

Admission is free. For information, call chapter president Frank Corbeil at 860-673-1787 or Bill Tyszka, chapter secretary of Simsbury at 860-658-6198.
