Top Ten Oregon Items

This post will be an ongoing project over the next several weeks as the Oregon APIC members try and decide what items from Oregon merit to be the Top 10. They might fit on this list because of rarity, desirability or just because they are so cool. The order in which items appear for the time being bear no indication of where we think they belong on the list. Once we have a list of  at least 10 items nominated we'll vote and open the voting up other APIC members and friends.

A) Tom McCall for Congress Eisenhower Coattail poster (1954)

This was back when Tom McCall, was still being referred to as Thomas Lawson McCall. Eisenhower items are always in demand and add to it that this is a McCall item and you've got yourself a real gem! Some of our fellow political junkies claim to have seen at least one such poster floating around in Eastern Oregon, possibly coming from the McCall Ranch estate sale back in the 70s and 80s. This example is from Oregon Historical Society McCall holdings and is pictured in Brent Walth's Fire at Eden's Gate.

Start sending your nominations, and we'll fix up a ballot.
