Staffer collects presidential election memorabilia
Winston Blair enjoys history and has the collection to prove it. He collects memorabilia from presidential elections, including buttons, tokens and posters — and even a sewing kit from Herbert Hoover’s 1928 campaign that has some of the original needles in it. It has Hoover’s picture on it and inside says, “Stick to the Republican Party.”
Blair, 25, of Clemmons, works in mail services at Wake Forest.
