Rah!!! A Safety’s The Score Parker & Davis 1904.” The elephant’s feet are bound with a metal band reading “Protection” and this leads to a ball and chain with caption “The Trust.” The primary rim inscription is “Uncle Sam’s ‘White’ Elephant – It’s Game – It’s Finish.” The platform and banner on the elephant’s back refer to “Rooseveltism – Grand Old Pirate.” Button displays mint although showing only in reflected light are two hairline scratches about .5” long at upper left and at right a narrow scuff line goes from top of elephant’s head down to gold ball at lower right. Button is complete with its unique backpaper poking fun at G.O.P. “White” Elephant “Healthy” Budget Deficit of $41 million dollars. Light stain on the paper and a .25” tear barely showing.
