John F. Kennedy Democratic National Convention honored guest ribbon, issued for the 1960 Democratic National Convention held in Los Angeles, California, where Kennedy was formally nominated as the Democratic candidate for President of the United States. The medal features a red, white, and blue suspension ribbon with an “Honored Guest” bar at the top, suspending a detailed medallion depicting the U.S. Capitol beneath a single star, with “Democratic National Convention – Los Angeles – 1960” prominently rendered.

The reverse displays period maker’s marks and original pin-back hardware, consistent with official convention-issued credentials and memorabilia produced for dignitaries and invited guests. This ribbon is an artifact from one of the most pivotal political conventions of the 20th century, marking the moment Kennedy emerged as the Democratic standard-bearer in a closely watched and historically significant election year.

Fine condition.

The 1960 Democratic National Convention, held July 11–15 in Los Angeles, culminated in the nomination of Senator John F. Kennedy, who would go on to win the presidency later that year in one of the closest elections in American history.
