Okay, I know that it is Cal Nixon, but nothing else, like if he is in politics...

Looks like Jan 22, 1987 if you adjust the color on the picture...

Thanks but I still can't quite make out the year. Is that 1987 or 1967?

I can't find anything at all. I saw the name for some Canadian sailing thing or something like that in the mid-80s. I found anothe cal Nixon who, based on the photo, looks nothing at all whatsoever like this guy. Deesandy...where is this button from? Do you have it, or did you come across the picture somewhere?

The face looks a little familiar. I tried IMDB for character name. Maybe the button was a prop from movie or TV show. Came up with zilch.

1987 is correct. I started to collect buttons 25 years ago. I have no idea how I ended up with this one and I am puzzled by it. I have another of a man without a date or name that I will scan and post. I searched the internet and found a Cal Nixon who was once a mayor, but the photo was different.

Have you looked under the name Calvin? Are there any other names that "Cal" comes from? Another idea would be to look on ebay - alot of people collect buttons, maybe there's someone else out there that has one.

"Are there any other names that "Cal" comes from? " Did you try "Calvert"? (My paternal grandfather was named Calvert and he had an identical twin named Calvin.)

ok, Richard Nixon had a brother, Edward Calvert Nixon - maybe he went by Cal? Trying to find more info - he was born in 1930 and is still living.

it must have been some dork from a local election or perhaps the grand poobah of an elks or masons or moose lodge.

I'm leaning towards Tabby's grand poobah theory.

I still can't find anything on this and I am slowing going insane. Of course, one has nothing to do with the other.

Xene Cervenca and John Doe were GODS at one time! X was maybe the great American punk band. Well, that and Television. And the New York Dolls.

Exene (top right, dark hair with streaks) was married to Viggo Mortenson.
