Item Description
Filled metal back imprinted "Balto Badge & Nov Co." w/fixed stick pin. Beautifully crafted w/an abundance of colors, this is among the most beautiful cello buttons produced for the 1900 campaign. A portrait of a left facing Bryan is flanked by American flags and goddess figures, one holding a staff and the other a laurel wreath crown. Latin slogans around border translate as "The Hope Of The People Is The Supremacy Of The Law", "Where Liberty Dwells, There Is My Country" and "I Care About The Future." This is an outstanding high grade example without the typical tiny dots of toning found on the cream rim of other examples we have encountered. NM, displaying Mint. Rare.
