Description
Bryan & Stevenson: Fabulous Double Jugate Eclipse Pin. This eclipse theme is found on several button designs for 1900, showing one candidate "eclipsing" the other. Most are sepia-toned although there is one variety in color which shows a single Bryan image eclipsing a single portrait of McKinley. Fewer than five examples of this 1 1/4" jugate version are known. We sold the Norm Lowenstern example in 2006 for over $20,000. The present copy is in choice condition and will satisfy the most demanding collector or investor. It was manufactured by the Crescent Art Gallery of Kansas City, Missouri, whose name appears on the bottom curl. It was sold by us three years ago for $21,510 and has been consigned by the owner for personal reasons. A rare opportunity to acquire one of the truly legendary celluloid button rarities.Auction Info
