8th Annual Townsend Convention 1948 Button and Ribbons. Unusual collectible from the Townsend convention of 1948. Unusual from the sense that it has four parts to it all tied together. The convention button at the top, a blue on light silver ribbon that says "Visiting" and a gold on blue ribbon that identifies the attendee as being from New York, and a real photo button of Townsend attached to the left ribbon. Original.
