Item Description
2.25". Smiling FDR clad in bow tie w/rose pinned to his lapel. Faint spotting along the extreme outer edges, most notably at 3 o'clock and 11 o'clock. A few tiny shallow scattered bumps and light scratches that amount to moderate wear. Technically VF, but displays above grade. The White House had a switchboard as early as 1877 but until 1929 no President had a phone in the Oval Office. More commonly seen as a pinback, scarcer when constructed as a pocket mirror.
