Front pictures "Theodore Roosevelt" and reverse with torch, ribbon and olive wreath design reads "Roosevelt/Reception Committee/June 18, 1910." While not as graphic as the TR/Ark Welcome Home buttons used that day that sell for thousands, a very limited issue for the actual members of the committee. Rare. VF.
