Description

William Jennings Bryan: Dramatic Large Illinois Badge from the 1908 Democratic Convention. Issued to delegates at the Denver convention, it touts the little-known fact that Bryan, generally thought of as being from Nebraska, was in fact born in Illinois. Suspended from a 2 1/8" black and white celluloid pinback are a colorful ribbon and an oval celluloid hanging from a connecting ribbon reading "Bryan's birthplace." The portrait celluloid itself should not be confused with a similar sepia version; this variety is a real photo image. Overall the badge is in great condition. Length 9".
