A rare 1 1/4 inch celluloid from Warren Harding’s fateful Pacific Coast Tour. The pin was made to welcome Harding to the West Coast, but the trip turned out tragically when Harding died while on the tour. This pin is from the Ruhstaller collection, so you know it is in exceptional condition. It also has a Brunt of San Francisco back paper. As it apparently rained in San Francisco that day, so probably 90% of the pins from this event are slightly stained, spotted or foxed. Ned naturally found one of the very, very few that is in excellent condition and this the one.
