Item Description
7/8” in the symbolic red/white colors of the party with large text on rim reading “Los Angeles/For The Workers.” Text at center reads “Socialist/1911/Party.” Button likely relates to one if not both of the following events. On May 27, 1911 the Socialist Party nominated Job Harriman for mayor and 1911 was also the year the Socialists were defending the McNamaras. Button is missing a backpaper from a Los Angeles maker. Reverse has 3/8" cello split by collet and collet has tiny dent. Front design off center but easily readable. Our only other example, also flawed, exceeded $250 in Auction #199.
