Pinback button promoting John E. Gill for U.S. representative, Pennsylvania, c. 1910. The Whitehead & Hoag Co., Newark, New Jersey.
Foxing at the curl between 1:00 and 3:00 (barely visible from front).
We don't handle many locals, but this design is so striking, we couldn't resist offering it. The candidate is pictured on the breast of a bald eagle, a streamer inscribed, PROHIBITION PARTY, in its beak, a snake inscribed, LIQUOR TRAFFIC, in its talons. Quite rare!
