Anderson Americana Auction #203

Lot #29:

Rare Harding, Coolidge St. Louis Button Jugate

This classic Harding-Coolidge jugate is a tough item to price. The 1 1/4 inch celluloid made by the St. Louis Button Co. is the king of Harding jugates and has sold for as much as $25,000 in the past. This one looks great from straight on, but when you turn it you can see it has some shallow cracks at center between the two candidates and at bottom left below Harding. It still displays very well. It looked good enough that Al Anderson had it in his collection. We are starting it out here at a very low opening price.
