Item Description
7/8" gold on black from 1896 showing 3 insect-like goldbugs impaled on the prongs of a pitchfork. Surrounding slogan reads "How The Farmer Loves Goldbugs." A couple of the individual slogan letters have lost some of the bright gold color but the entire inscription remains easily readable. Vast majority of bright gold color remains on the image area. A scarce design by Baldwin & Gleason. Scarce and Fine.
