Item Description
2-1/16" with stunning color and detail. W&H back paper with spring pin holding 4.5" purple ribbon which has large cardboard W&H lapel at its reverse base. Celluloid shows three English settlers' ships, two fierce eagles, wings spread, perched on frames enclosing Captain John Smith opposite Pocahontas (as adult in English garb), with below the Monitor and Merrimac in battle with US and Confederate flags on their decks amid blasting cannons and, at center, Robert E. Lee's nephew Fitzhugh Lee who had a notable career (Civil War, Gov. of Virginia, War of 1898/Cuba) but appears on this button as he was President of the Exposition until his death in 1905. The button has the slightest trace of age on the very narrow pale blue outer rim- barely seen. The ribbon has tabbed "Guest" cello in a brass frame. Both left and right edges of the fabric have a few small missing flakes. Ribbon is not split and includes date of Sept. 2, 1907. Ribbon is VG. The button is Exc. A design mate to 1907 Jamestown button picturing Theodore Roosevelt, and in our experience the scarcer of the two. See TR button #272.
