January 20, 1957 was the date of the 43^rd inaugural ceremony of the United States, during which Dwight D. Einsenhower was sworn in as President, with Richard Nixon as Vice President. “Ike” and “Dick” were the respective nicknames of both men. People who attended the inauguration were likely given these buttons with ribbons corresponding with their home state.
