Myself & my wife, Julie

This is just a small sideline that I have, and it keeps me out of trouble! ;o).  My name is Paul.  I've been collecting Campaign buttons since 1972, when my own Dad gave me my first button that he had purchased at a Teacher's Convention in Green Bay, Wisconsin.  That sparked an interest in me and today I have over 7000 buttons in addition to other types of campaign items!  To some, that may be just a drop in the bucket, but for me it takes up one whole room of my home.  And, I must add, I have a big house and the rooms aren't small!

My wife and I live in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, home of the EAA Air-Venture, which is held here every summer.  You may have also heard of Chief Oshkosh Beer, Oshkosh B'gosh Clothing and other things.  Those things come, or came from here!

Basically, my goal is simple.  As a collector myself, I buy items to add to my own collection.  Plus I try to help out other collectors as well.  I'm not here to make a ton of money, as I really don't!  I don't sell anything that I personally would not add to my own collection, and I shop all over the place to find items that I can offer to other collectors at a lower cost than they can find elsewhere.  When I do make money it goes to further my own collection.  What an addiction!  But anyway, you can rest assured that you will never find a poor quality button in my store.  Nor will you ever find a reproduction here, and if I do list a replica it's labeled as such! I will not waste your time & money on garbage.  I pride myself on that!  Plus, I'll always try to keep the prices reasonable.  YOU'VE still got other bills to pay, and a hobby shouldn't interfere with that.

So now you know about me, and now you've seen my beautiful wife!  You know about my goals and priorities.  I hope you'll feel comfortable doing business with me!  With God's help, I'll never have to worry about letting you down.

Happy collecting!

Paul
