Pinback button promoting William McKinley for president and Theodore Roosevelt for vice president, 1900. J. H. Shaw Co., Philadelphia.
The economic stability and military supremacy of the United States at the turn of the last century all but guaranteed the reelection of the incumbent administration. The addition of the young governor of New York, Theodore Roosevelt, to the ticket, whose Rough Rider fame resounded worldwide, was aimed at making inroads in the popular base of Democrat William Jennings Bryan.
We offer a classic jugate pinback featuring actual photos of the winning team of 1900.
