Item Description
1-1/8" brass two-sided depiction of Harding in tuxedo with tails and top hat. A small loop is at the hat for suspension. By the heel of his shoe is a small tab that when pushed forces his hand out from the interior of his body into a nose-thumbing gesture. At the same time, a tail with small triangular accent on the end should pop out at his lower back. Both pieces are here, but when the pieces are pushed to go inside the body area, they can be made to disappear but pushing the little notch at his heel will not properly spring them back out into position. So in other words, the piece is complete and can be made to display its intended function but the smoothness of the mechanical action no longer works. Piece still has much original luster.
