Change purse promoting Theodore Roosevelt for president, 1904. Brass, leather, celluloid.
Metal lid features a bust of Roosevelt enclosed by a scroll bearing legend, GIVE EVERY MAN A SQUARE DEAL THEO. ROOSEVELT. Inside the lid, an advertisement for Clarleston, West Virginia liquor wholesaler. Leather shows some age, as would be expected.
Very rare advertising novelty issued during the campaign, only the second or third we have seen.
