Item Description
This 1.75" button has curl text "Copyright 1903, Ford Mfg. Co. St. Louis" followed by name of the maker "F.F. Pulver Co. Rochester, NY."

In his right hand, Napoleon holds the "Deed to Louisiana" and in Livingston's right hand is money bag labeled "$15,000,000". Among the best and rarest 1904 expo buttons.
