Lot #7:

Theodore Roosevelt Grant School Pittsburg, Pa.

A very scarce Theodore Roosevelt pin from Pittsburgh but before the h was added to the name. This 1 1/4 inch celluloid was made for a June 24, 1902 event at Grant School in Pittsburgh. Did Teddy actually attend the event? We don’t know, but we do know that this pin is a very hard to find TR item. It still has original Baltimore Badge back paper and is in excellent condition.
