Description
One of the Greatest Political "Cartoon" Button Designs, and the Hake Book Plate Specimen This delightful 1896 variety, showing William McKinley and Garret Hobart peddling a bicycle-built-for-two up the drive to the White House, is exceeded in its charm only by its extreme rarity; probably fewer than ten are known, and a number of those have varying degrees of condition problems. This 1 1/4" beauty is perfectly centered and very choice, almost certainly the finest known example. Condition and distinguished provenance combine to make this one of the most exciting political buttons we have ever offered.Auction Info
