Item Description
The first two items in this group are the first we've seen. Each is white metal with the second having red and blue hand applied color tint. The first piece has the die-cut head of Uncle Sam between crossed American and Cuban flags with a ribbon design below inscribed "Liberty." This piece is 7/8" by 1" with a fixed 1" vertical stickpin on the back. Next is elaborate die-cut with full figure Uncle Sam holding American flag and Cuban flag. Although a little difficult to see, the American flag carries the inscription "Free Cuba" and the Cuban flag carries the inscription "Remember The Maine." This piece is 1-1/8" wide by 1-3/8" tall with 1" stickpin on reverse. Last is a white metal figure of Uncle Sam marching and holding a rifle over his shoulder with "US" pack on his back. There are some dark red paint traces. 1.5" tall with lapel stud reverse. This piece is VF and the other two are essentially Mint.
