Item Description
1.75" with backpaper by Trimble, Pittsburgh. Button was issued by the women of the Klan and their initials appear on the button as "W.K.K.K." Three photos with women titled "Imperial Commander" and "Major Kleagle/Pennsylvania." At center is a young child in a Klan hood with caption below reading "Our Charge." Button promotes "Home For Orphan And Dependant Children Located at Harrisburg, Penna." We've seen an example with fabrics holding actual bells but they are not present on this piece. It is otherwise essentially Mint. Rare.
