    Description

    This tie clasp is memorabilia of the 1962 special election for the United States Senate in Massachusetts. When John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960, he
    wanted his y
    ounger brother Ted to succeed him, but Ted was too young to be eligible, so the Governor appointed another individual to serve until a special election in 1962. In the 1962 campaign, Ted Kennedy was elected to complete his brother's term. He was elected to a full six year term in 1964 and was re-elected seven more times, dying in office in 2009. This gold-look campaign item in the shape of the State of Massachusetts is both rare and significant. It was a part of the first campaign of a Senator who was ultimately one of the longest serving in that office in U.S history The item is in excellent condition.
