Item Description
Each has 3.75" brass rim holding color portrait on matte surface celluloid. Candidates' last name at bottom in blue. Reverses are black cardboard with a small slot at top where fabric holds a .5" brass ring. Apparently designed to wear as the McKinley has frayed rwb cord that could tie through button hole. Light gray tone, mostly on Bryan as these were made without glossy celluloid covering. About third McKinley we've seen but the Bryan is a first. A rare pair of impressive size.
