Lot #1536:

Uncle Sam Remember the Maine Gosh Darn Yer

Uncle Sam applies a knockout punch to Spain on this Spanish-American War patriotic pin. This 1 1/4 inch celluloid shows that Sam remembers the Maine – and he adds “Gosh Darn Yer” for good measure as he teaches Spain a lesson. Pin still has original Whitehead and Hoag back paper and is in excellent condition. A great Spanish American War pin from the Dennis Ritter collection.
