Item Description
Beautiful 1.5" from early 1900s with inset lower right real photo of "Marvelous Marsh." Scene details are a bit light as made but easily seen with close inspection. At right are a pair of towers supporting a ramp "150 Ft." in the air. Two tiny images of him on bicycle are shown coming down the ramp while at center is faint image of him flying through the air at "70 Ft." while at lower right he is shown in a straight vertical dive headed for a square container labeled on the side edge "3 Ft. Of Water." Reverse has covered tin back and bar pin with stamped name of maker "Pin-Lock" along with 1898 patent date. Totally clean and with high gloss. About the third we've seen. Rare.
