Item Description
6.75" tall. Cello insert reads "Wabasso" on brass bar frame suspending ribbon with separate fabric American flag accent above gold lettering reading in full "Fort Fairfield/State Field Day/Patriarchs/Militant/June 9-10/1914/Portland, Maine." At center is 1.25" real photo without dot pattern celluloid button tabbed in a mint luster brass frame and with the fabric ribbon passing through the reverse of the button which includes a W&H back paper. Through trick photography a real photo of a potato has been placed atop a railroad flatcar so that it appears to be of monstrous size and is surrounded by the text "Mined In Aroostook." Most unusual and NM. Only example we've seen.
