Very Beautiful and very rare, 1912, William Howard Taft, 1 3/4", Porcelain / China Presidential Campaign Pin / Broach. This outstanding Presidential Campaign Pin measures approx. 1 3/4" in diameter and features a very attractive, chromolithograph, transfer portrait of Taft in the center of a very heavy piece of fine quality porcelain china. The porcelain disc features a gold gilt rim and is mounted on a brass backing with a broach style pinback. Scratched into the surface of the backing is what appears to be period text that reads "Carnival Week / Pres. Taft / 1912".

We have never seen this particular Taft Campaign item before and we believe that it is not only very beautiful but also very rare!!

This rare and beautiful, turn of the century political piece is in excellent condition - crisp and clean with no staining, foxing, discoloration or damage of any kind to the heavy porcelain disc. The transfer portrait of Taft is exceptionally well preserved with no wear or loss. The gold gilt surface of the Broach style back is also well preserved except for the period identification discussed above.

Important Notes about Shipping Charges:

The amount quoted for Shipping & Handling is calculated by and is equal to the EXACT amount charged by the Post Office plus a $1.00 "packing fee" - the $1.00 fee is our only compensation for the virgin packing materials we use on all of our professionally packaged boxes as well as our cost for the salaried help that does most of our packing - as I am sure you can see, we make NO profit on the Shipping charges and, in fact, our costs are usually greater than the $1.00 fee. Please contact us if there are any issues regarding the cost of shipping.
