John W. Davis Sepia Celluloid

This 1 1/4 inch sepia celluloid features a sharp photo of John W. Davis, 1924 Democratic candidate for president. It took the Democrats 103 ballots to nominate Davis at the 1924 convention and that seemed to take all the energy out the campaign. There weren't many Davis campaign items made and this is one of the best-looking Davis pins. Excellent.
