Appraisal: 1968 Nixon Campaign Dress
GUEST
I bought it in a thrift shop about 25 years ago for ten dollars. And it just had a little tag on it that said, "Nixon dress." I researched it at Nixon Library, and they told me that it was worn by some of the women who were campaigning for Nixon in 1968.
APPRAISER
Well, Nixon was running against Hubert Humphrey in 1968, and he really was trying to get the women's vote. And so they decided to make clothing for the women to wear to promote Nixon and his campaign. Today, this dress would sell at auction for between $400 and $600. So you did great.
GUEST
Nice, yeah.
