When Robert F. Kennedy was assassinated during the 1968 presidential primaries, some "Kennedy" 1-3/8" litho name buttons were under production at the Green Duck button factory in Chicago. At this point, large sheets of lithographed tin, with the "Kennedy" design in white-on-blue, had been produced. They had not yet been stamped out into individual buttons  When R.F.K. was killed, the button order was presumed to be cancelled. The manufacturer halted production and directed that the large uncut sheets of the "Kennedy" buttons be flipped over and stamped out to make up the reverse side of the back for a 3-inch "Wallace For President" lithographed tin picture button, also under production at the time.   The unfinished "Kennedy" buttons had now become the inside backs of the Wallace buttons.     $15
