Bryan and Kern pin/badge

[bigcaddy]

Bryan and Kern were the opponents of William Taft for presidency in 1908. They Lost. as was this pin/badge

We found it behind a local bar about five inches deep. The neighborhood was from the 50s. Pretty cool find. A handful of change and a silver quarter were also found.

Certainly a watch fob. That slot at the top is the "give away" to the ID.

Very nice find! Congrats.

I laughed when I saw Chaca!

Very nice political fob.

Couldn't this been made into a pinned ribbon sort of campaign bling? Like a military medal. Pin at the top, some ribbon sewn in a loop with the medal dangling below?

LD the fobs were general attached with a leather strap like this example.
