Item Description
1-1/8" diameter with blank brass back and extending 7/16" brass stud. This item is second only to the previous pin as the most colorful and attractive wearable 1876 Centennial souvenir we've encountered in 60 years. Given the title spelling of Philadelphia, this is likely French in origin.  Enamel colors include two green shades, brown, red, white, black and orange all outlined in golden brass details. Essentially Mint as made. Only example known to us.
