Item Description
Brass bug is 1.25" tall and 1.5" wide with wings open. Original gilt luster is off the bug's back but still a very nice, bright shade of brass and still with much original luster on the wing edges. McKinley photo has narrow line of brown color off edge. Hobart photo is less bold and there is a small paper dot off to right of his cheek but still 90% intact. Pin on underside is replaced but functions correctly. Mechanically, wings fold closed easily and pop open with gusto. Overall Fine and working.
