Item Description
This only known large 1.75" is from the Hake Collection and Collectible Pin-Back Buttons Hake book photo example entertainment section #1037. We've seen two in 1.25" size but only this one 1.75". Upper rim reads "Under All Circumstances Keep An Even Mind." A few raised surface bumps but totally clean and complete with St. Louis Button paper. Likely issued at his death in 1910. He was born in 1826 and had the gift of clairvoyance at an early age. Later he became a prolific writer, diagnosed diseases, predicted cars and typewriters decades before their invention and became known as John The Baptist of Spiritualism. Google him for the full story. Rare & Exc. Comes with Hake's COA.
