Item Description
7/8" w/"US Novelty Co." on reverse and stick pin. Fixed outer layer of green flower petals w/text "For President" and mechanical rwb inner petals that open, revealing a convex portrait of TR at center, when a lever on reverse is depressed. Portrait has light brown toning and painted metal has wear consistent w/light use. VF. Easily the finest example of the two others we have encountered in our 50 years. A truly rare and charming 1904 campaign artifact.
