I doubt I could get an original; I'd love it if I could find a high-resolution scan of one someplace, have a big glossy printed professionally, and frame it. However, no luck on this particular item. Nothing on eBay; googling gives me a vague hint there may be some in the historical archives section of the UNC library, and a bad scan of a campaign button. If it is at UNC (I'd be surprised if it wasn't at Duke, but I couldn't find any indication of it.) I don't know what the procedure would be; could I walk in with a laptop and a scanner and get the image?
Can anyone suggest where I might start looking? I'm in the Triangle, actually not far off Duke campus, and I could get my hands on local resources.
