Item Description
After taking office, TR called his domestic agenda the "Square Deal." This 1-1/4" button with W&H backpaper has border in alternating colors of yellow and light blue which are the city colors of Philadelphia. On a black and white diamond design at the center is a tall thin figure of a man with one hand at his waist and his other hand over his mouth. The "Square Deal" slogan relates to TR but we don't know the meaning of the word "Gib." or how it relates to Philadelphia. Exc., displaying Mint.
