Beautiful campaign button featuring US president -- Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt in very good condition. Size is 1.375 inches across. TR ran for president twice as a republican, this is I believe from the 1904 campaign.
This is part of a
large personal collection I have put together over the last 40 years
and will be listing over the coming weeks on ebay. Keep visiting my
site for newly listed material if you are a collector and are
interested in presidential items from the 1896 to 1952 era. Some will
be auction, some buy it now and some offered with make an offer.
We have over 2500 positive ratings on ebay.
Historical Context:
The
United States presidential election of 1904 was held on
November 8,
1904. Incumbent
President Theodore Roosevelt, a
Republican who had succeeded to the Presidency upon
William McKinley's assassination, easily won a term of his own, thus becoming the first "accidental" president to do so.
