Item Description
1.25" thick circular piece in glass has small loop on top edge joined to a embossed brass eagle bar pin. Front of the piece has their embossed jugate portraits while the reverse of the piece is a brass covering with a small brass hinged handle that allows the back of the piece to be pulled out. On the interior, a dried-out ink pad is on one surface while on the pull-out piece there is a rubber insert with raised jugate portraits of both men and the text "Our Choice Harrison Morton." The reverse brass case has lost some luster around the outer edges and the apparent original owner very neatly scratched the name "James B.." Front of the piece displays N. Mint. Item is designed so that Harrison supporter could stamp the jugate images onto his letters or envelopes. Neat item we've seen only once or twice before.
