Description
Today, we will start featuring a collection of political Americana purchased from an old-time collector. Pieces were chosen for a combination of scarcity and condition, with an emphasis on the latter. Most of the collection was comprised of celluloid pinback buttons, but there are some GREAT earlier pre-1896 pieces, as well. Some standard abbreviations used include: cello = celluloid pinback button, litho = lithograph pinback button, ferro = ferrotype. All items’ sizes are denoted, as well as condition. We can not stress how rare it is for us to buy to a high-quality collection of this scope and magnitude. This specific item is a 1905 REPUBLICAN CLUBS 1 3/4″ CELLO, TEDDY R/U S GRANT/Wm McKINLEY/LINCOLN-MINT! THIS IS TRULY A SPECTACULAR ITEM AND IN UNIMPROVABLE MINT CONDITION. THE 1 3/4″ CELLO FEATURES 4 PROMINENT REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTS INSIDE OF A CLOVER BEARING THE DATES SEPT 20-21, 1905. THE OUTSIDE PERIMETER OF THE CELLULOID HAS THE SLOGAN, “PENNSYLVANIA STATE LEAGUE-REPUBLICAN CLUBS” THE CELLO IS SUPENDED ON A BEAUTIFUL PURPLE SILK DELEGATE RIBBON WITH A CELLULOID “EASTON” IMBEDDED IN THE RIBBON BAR.
