Item Description
This beautiful 1.5" has so much going on that we will only hit the highlights. A white elephant stands atop a football representing the "People" with additional text "Rah! Rah!! Rah!!! A Safety's The Score Parker & Davis 1904." The elephant's feet are bound with a metal band reading "Protection" and this leads to a ball and chain with caption "The Trust." The primary rim inscription is "Uncle Sam's 'White' Elephant - It's Game - It's Finish." The platform and banner on the elephant's back refer to "Rooseveltism - Grand Old Pirate." Typical surface wear shows only with magnification. High gloss. Perfect centering. Complete with "White Elephant" backpaper which is unique to this button. A beautiful example of this classic which displays Mint.
