Photographer Press Badge Pass #123. This historic original press credential pass was issued for perimeter photographer access (Badge No. 123) at the 1960 Democratic National Convention held in Los Angeles, California—the landmark historic event where John F. Kennedy famously secured the presidential nomination. Printed by the renowned Jeffries Banknote Company, the pass features intricate green guilloché borders, clear typography, and a detailed engraving of the U.S. Capitol dome. Printed cardstock in clear original plastic laminate holder with metal suspender clip, 1960, printed printer credit "JEFFRIES BANKNOTE COMPANY" at lower margin, measures approximately 3.5 x 5 inches overall (holder dimensions). Shows expected light age toning and subtle surface wear to the protective plastic pouch; internal cardstock pass remains remarkably crisp, bright, and vibrant with no tears, severe creasing, or moisture staining. See photos for close-up details.
