Here is a IMA Simp FDR Alfred E Neuman pin we have sold in the past:
Alfred E. Neuman 1940 Campaign Mad Magazine Button
Franklin Delano Roosevelt (January 30, 1882 – April 12, 1945), often referred to by his initials FDR, was an American politician who served as the 32nd president of the United States from 1933 until his death in 1945. A member of the Democratic Party, he won a record four presidential elections and became a central figure in world events during the first half of the 20th century. Roosevelt directed the federal government during most of the Great Depression, implementing his New Deal domestic agenda in response to the worst economic crisis in U.S. history. As a dominant leader of his party, he built the New Deal Coalition, which defined modern liberalism in the United States throughout the middle third of the 20th century. His third and fourth terms were dominated by World War II, which ended shortly after he died in office.
Rare 1940 campaign button from Republican Wendell Willkie’s Presidential campaign, humorously mocking supporters of the New Deal. Before Alfred E. Neuman was tapped as the face of “Mad” magazine, he was used in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as a genial idiot, whose support you didn’t want. In this instance, his name is “I.M.A. SIMP”, slang for sucker (i.e., Homer Simpson). Button measures 1.25″ in diameter, with the Chicago Union bug logo on the curl and stamped on the back. In unusually near fine condition with no damage to the celluloid. One of the most collectible political buttons of the 20th century. Sold for $1,300.
