!!!!!!!!! INTERESTING & RARE PINBACK WITH A LITTLE KNOWN STORY ABOUT A HORSE NAMED JIM KEY !!!!!!!!!!

"I HAVE SEEN BEAUTIFUL JIM KEY"  This is a beautful pinback about a beautiful horse. One of the smartest horses ever recorded. Mim Eichlas Rivas has written a story of Jim Key...a horse which was born as a crippled foal and learned to imitate the dog and fetch a stick and bring it back to his owner. Jim Key's owner, Bill Key (former slave, Civil War veteran and self-taught veterinarian), eventually even taught him to pick letters out of the alphabet, read, write, spell and do math! Now that's something to rave about!! And the most amazing this is, it's a TRUE story!!!

Jim Key soon became an inspiration and an adored symbol  to schoolchildren throughout the U.S. who faithfully promised to never abuse animals.

What a wonderful story to an ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL pinback! The picture on this pinback is of Jim Key pulling a bill out of a cash register!  This pinback measures 1-1/4" in diameter. The front is in MINT condition, and the back has the paper in tact and is in VERY GOOD condition with just a small amount of tear around the edges, as you can see in the picture. It was manufactured by Whitehead and Hoag and has the patent dates of April 14, 1896 and July 21, 1896 on the back.

THIS PINBACK IS A REAL COLLECTOR'S PIECE!!!
