William Jennings Bryan: 1900 1½  Celluloid
<B>William Jennings Bryan: A Scarce 1½" Celluloid Touting His Spanish-American War Service.</B></I> During the 1900 election, Teddy Roosevelt successfully capitalized on his role in the recent war. While Bryan also served, he was unable to duplicate Roosevelt's success. This button represents an effort to do so, picturing "Col. Bryan and his staff / Omaha 3rd Neb. 1898". A variety notoriously prone to foxing, this is one of the nicest we have seen with only several very trivial and light marks. Overall great shape.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Small Flat (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
