A rare Ohio coattail item that also marks the first election in which women were allowed to vote. This 1 3/4 inch cloth-covered pin and ribbon is purple, the color of the suffrage movement. The ribbon supports Warren Harding for president and Harry L. Davis for governor. We don’t recall ever seeing this item before. Printing slightly off center on pin, faint stains on ribbon.
