I can’t believe how bright these things are after all these years, they haven’t faded much, although they’ve been in a collection I found years ago locks it in a dark warehouse!!!
******+Pay no attention to the one that just sold really cheap !!
that was a major mistake on my part, I used to sell them at $.99 on eBay and they use...d to sell for well over $100 but it appears most of the Jimmy Hoffa historians have died off on me. Very sad.
You know what is funny? It’s recommending I listed at the exact sale price on my last one! Because there are no more out there! LOL
I guess someone told last of the mo-hoffas!
That was a really bad joke. Sorry LOL
THIS IS AN ORIGINAL PERIOD PIECE JIMMY JOFFA TEAMSTERS CAMPAIGN CAR ANTENNA FLAG IN NEAR MINT CONDITION!
this thing is almost unbelievable he came out of the collection that my best friend and I purchased well over 15 years ago from my 89-year-old man who collected a vast collection of many different things and in this collection of Leslie baseball card stuff was some political stuff including original Jimmy Hoffa Collectibles! Jimmy Hoffa was a polarizing figure in American history you either love him or you hated him and he Actually help do some positive things with unions in America and for United auto workers, however he did get mixed up and organize crime which led to his death/disappearance in 1975.
HERE IS SOME MORE HISTORY ON JIMMY:

Hoffa.James Riddle Hoffa (born February 14, 1913; disappeared July 30, 1975) was an American labor union leader who served as the President of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT) union from 1957 until 1971.

Hoffa Barbara Ann CrancerFrom an early age, Hoffa was a union activist and became an important regional figure with the IBT by his mid-20s. By 1952 he was national vice-president of the IBT, and was its general president between 1957 and 1971. He secured the first national agreement for teamsters' rates in 1964 with the National Master Freight Agreement. He played a major role in the growth and development of the union, which eventually became the largest (by membership) in the United States with over 2.3 million members at its peak, during his terms as its leader.
Hoffa became involved with organized crime from the early years of his Teamsters work, and this connection continued until his disappearance in 1975. He was convicted of jury tampering, attempted bribery and fraud in 1964, in two separate trials. He was imprisoned in 1967 and sentenced to 13 years. In mid-1971, he resigned as president of the union as part of a pardon agreement with President Richard Nixon; and he was released later that year, though barred from union activities until 1980. Hoffa, hoping to regain support and to return to IBT leadership, unsuccessfully attempted to overturn this order.
Hoffa vanished in late July 1975 and was never found.[1] He was declared legally dead in 1982.
