Pinback button celebrating Col. Theodore Roosevelt, issued as an advertising premium by the Los Angeles Times, c. 1899. Baldwin & Gleason Co., New York. Portrait of TR in Rough Rider cavalry uniform, beneath "Compliments L.A. Times." Probably issued in conjunction with the "Teddy's Terrors" reunion in Los Angeles in 1899.
One of the rarest Rough Rider designs, we have seen only one other, a flawed specimen auctioned by Heritage about a decade ago (Berman III, Lot 42273, $300). Missing from the exhaustive Kimmel collection. This example is dead mint!
