1908 BILLY POSSUM Brass Button - William H. Taft Campaign Symbol:
$9.95


We are pleased to offer a 1908 brass button, with the embossed image of a possum in the center and \"BILLY POSSUM\" lettering on the top surface diameter.The backstory is that while Teddy Roosevelt had the Teddy bear stuffed toy named after him, there was a Billy Possum plush toy named after President William Taft. While the Teddy bear caught on, Billy Possum was never as famous. This solid shank button measures1\" diameter, and is in good, as-found condition. (There appears to be an indentation in the center that may have happened in manufacturing... not sure if it\'s an actual problem.) A great piece of historical Presidential campaign memorabilia!
The winning buyer pays shipping costs. Good luck, and thanks for looking!
