Anderson Americana Auction #189

Lot #3:

William Jennings Bryan Ohio Horseshoe

This rare William Jennings Bryan celluloid is packed full of symbols. There’s the lucky horseshoe but look closely and you’ll also see a cross and a crown of thorns, referring to Bryan’s famous speech about the gold standard. This Ohio 1 3/4 inch celluloid has some faint edge stains and a white spot on left side, still very presentable.
