Item Description
6.5" wide by 4.5" tall by 2.5" deep.  Bronze finish on cast iron.  Front displays high relief and highly detailed elephant with "GOP" on the blanket area of the opening that holds 2.25" real photo button.  A classic 1908 campaign item with an existing donkey mate holding Bryan button.  Real photo button without dot pattern but with about two dozen tiny tan dots on right background as made.  Portrait area remains clean and button has full gloss.  Button has no text but features a crystal clear very close up photo of Taft.  On the open reverse, elephant rear leg has a number "3" in the casting.  One of the nicest cast iron campaign items.
