Full Description:
Up for sale is an authentic, original 1908 William Howard Taft Presidential Campaign Pinback Button. This historic piece of Americana features a sepia-toned portrait of Taft surrounded by the text "FOR PRESIDENT WM. H. TAFT" set against a dark background.
Measuring approximately 7/8 inches in diameter, this is the classic pocket or lapel size favored during the standard turn-of-the-century political campaigns.
Condition Details:
• Front: The celluloid face remains vibrant with great color clarity. Shows light, age-appropriate surface wear/micro-scratches when viewed under direct light, but no cracks, splits, or major fading.
• Back: The reverse metal collet shows significant age-related oxidation, rusting, and dark patina consistent with a 100+ year old historical artifact. The original fastening pin is intact and functional.
• Please review all included high-resolution photos carefully to assess the precise cosmetic condition prior to purchasing.
Perfect addition to any political memorabilia, US history, or presidential campaign collection!
