Item Description
1" tall with enamel paint on brass designed as an artist's pallet comprised of the Cuban flag while at the top where the thumb hole would be there is a small portrait of Castro. Pallet is accented on the edges with paintbrushes. Text reads "Gracias Fidel 26." The number references what was known as the "26 of July Movement" which was the revolutionary organization planned and led by Castro that in 1959 overthrew the Batista government. Tiny rub and color loss on Castro's nose and tiny general paint aging but piece still displays VF. Only example we've seen. Also see 1959-1960 Casto and Cuba magazines and movie lobby cards items #140-141. Rare.
