Item Description
2-1/16" with stunning color and detail. W&H back paper has few pinpoint specks from long ago. 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 high gloss and is Exc. A design mate to 1907 Jamestown button picturing Theodore Roosevelt, and in our experience this is the scarcer of the two. This is the plate example from Collectible Pin-Back Buttons 1896-1986 by Hake and King. Comes w/Hake's COA.
