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 1912 TEDDY ROOSEVELT 1 1/4″ UNUSUAL CELLO, R/W/B SILK RIBBON, BRASS WHEAT STALKS. UNDOUBTEDLY A MID-WESTERN FARM BELT ITEM, THE CELLULOID PICTURES AN AGING TEDDY ROOSEVELT W/ THE SLOGAN “OUR NEXT PRESIDENT”. THIS IS ONE THAT DOESN’T APPEAR OFTEN, AND IN THIS FORMAT, PROBABLY ALMOST-NEVER. THE ITEM IS EXC/nr-MINT, AND ASIDE FROM SOME FRAYING ON THE SILK RIBBON, VIRTUALLY UNIMPROVABLE! Our commitment is to provide you with quality coins and collectibles at the best possible prices. This piece is no exception. Please note, the coin and collectibles markets do fluctuate, and prices occasionally will change. In this rare circumstance, we will contact you first to verify your order.
