Item Description
This two-sided piece has encased sepia real photos of McKinley and Hobart all surrounded by an aluminum edge forming a .75" diamond-shaped square which is .25" thick. Top corner has a small aluminum extension with brass loop for fastening to a watch chain. McKinley side has three trivial and very tiny air dots that will catch reflected light and Hobart side has some extremely fine hairlines in the celluloid, probably as made and barely showing even in reflected light. A very beautifully designed piece and the first we've seen. Rare.
