Labor and Capital actually shake hands on this rare Theodore Roosevelt campaign pin. We haven’t seen this 1 1/4 inch celluloid for a long time – it’s a very rare TR item. This pin comes from an era when violence in labor disputes was common and the rise of the labor movement was a major national issue. If anyone could get the two sides to play nice, it would have been TR (at least, that’s what this pin implies). Geraghty back paper, excellent condition. As of Sunday, July 23rd this pin has had the second largest number of people checking it out.
