Item Description
This piece is 8.5” tall with slightly faded but readable gold text on blue fabric “Elburn Ill. Republican Club 1900.” Bottom has brass wire tassels while at top is a very large 2.25x2.75” heavy white metal piece finished in brilliant brass luster designed as a scroll with star and wreath-like accents. At the center of this is mounted a 1-1/8” dia. sepia real photo of McKinley with a clear celluloid laminated front surface. Very unusual ribbon badge and the only example we’ve seen. From the Morry Greener Collection.
