.75" lapel stud with photo of him over-printed by lines representing jail bars. Trivial 1/16" tiny gap on the reverse where the celluloid meets the metal backing. Back is like a lapel stud but the circular disk is movable, like a cufflink, and can be swiveled on its side so it will more easily insert into a buttonhole. Given the manufacturing characteristics, we think this item dates to 1896 or 1897. The image and text date back to 1894 when Coxey, an Ohio businessman, organized an "Industrial Army" to protest the federal government's lack of action during an economic crisis. The Army marched to Washington picking up many sympathizers along the way. However, it also panicked many people who feared an insurrection of the unemployed. In Washington, Coxey and his Army were driven from the Capitol lawn. Coxey, attempting to read his prepared statement on the Capitol steps was jailed for trespassing, thus the slogan "Keep Off The Grass." Later that year, Coxey ran for U.S. Representative from Ohio, losing to a Republican. In 1895 he unsuccessfully ran as the Peoples Party (Populist Party) candidate for Ohio governor. 1894 and 1895 are a little early given the construction of this item. However, he went on to serve as a delegate to the 1896 People's (Populist) Party convention. The item could date from that year or it may date from his second attempt in the Ohio governor contest in 1897. Overall condition is Exc. and the item displays Mint. Rare.
