Item Description
This beautifully designed 1.25" was issued for "National Wheelmen's Club" and features a red bicycle wheel spoke design behind the jugate portraits of McKinley an Hobart. The celluloid covering used on this button was very susceptible to yellowing and cracking but this example is free of both flaws. The celluloid surface is perfectly clean and glossy and the design is near perfectly centered. The only slight defect is that 16 of the 26 tiny stars around the rim have a faint touch of browning, all but invisible without magnification. An exceptionally nice specimen listed in the Hake guide as McKinley #5.
