Gavels, buttons, phones, and women’s underwear, it’s all part of an election collection like you’ve never seen before.
“I’ve been working in Alabama politics for 25 years,” said Azbell. “My father was in politics.”“I was George Wallace’s last spokesman/personal aid. I was press secretary for Fob James and Gov. Bob Riley.”“I’m a history buff. The reason I started collecting political items years ago, I was digging around in a storage room at the house and I found buttons from old campaigns,” Azbell said.
Montgomery's David Azbell has a passion for politics. His election collection of more than 40 years has buttons, gavels, signs, even underwear.“In 1946, Big Jim Folsom ran for governor with a promise of cleaning corruption out of the capitol. If you were a woman who attended a Jim Folsom rally in 1946, you got a bar of Jim Folsom for governor soap,” Azbell said. “This is George Wallace’s qualification papers. In 1946 when he signed this paper, he started his political career.
If underpants aren’t your thing, he has a phone from the White House and an actual voting booth from the 2000 presidential election in Florida that made “hanging chads” a household word. So why does he do it? “Each item has a story behind it. Even if the item is not that impressive, once you start telling the story, people get it,” Azbell said.“It used to be, before eBay, you’d go out like Raiders of the Lost Arc, looking for a treasure,” Azbell added.” Facebook page has quite a following. You can discuss his collection or just about any race that’s ever happened in Alabama.
