Not even a lucky wishbone was enough to help John W. Davis to victory in 1924. A divided Democratic Party and the third party campaign of Robert LaFollette left Davis needing wishbones from an entire army of chickens to give him a chance. This 7/8 inch celluloid is a rare beauty, and a Davis pin that actually has color, with Whitehead and Hoag back paper in excellent condition. Another great pin from Bob Atwater's collection. We've only offered this pin only once before in the last fourteen years.
