Antique Teddy Roosevelt 1904 Presidential Pinback Ornate Beaded 13/16" For Sale

Rare, original 1904 Theodore Roosevelt presidential campaign miniature button. This highly collectible celluloid pinback measures a precise $\frac{13}{16}$ of an inch in diameter—a distinct, specialized small-die size heavily sought after by turn-of-the-century political americana hobbyists.

The History: Having ascended to the presidency following the assassination of William McKinley in 1901, the 1904 election was TR's definitive campaign to win the executive office in his own right. This scarce design captures a sharp portrait of a determined, young Roosevelt—complete with his distinct mustache and the clearly visible cord lines of his signature pince-nez glasses draped down his shirt.
