✅ SOLVED Lock to White House? I don't think so....

[Tedyoh]

Found at an older (1860's) homestead that also saw heavy logging, possibly a logging camp at one point as well, in North Central PA in the middle of nowhere.....the tab on top is bent....pretty sure its brass from scratching the back....any ideas? Back is smooth so it was not attached / riveted to anything. Thanks!

Not sure why the pics loaded rotated, click twice and they straighten out.

Doesn't look like a real lock?

i think that political watch fob is prob a rare item, dont clean it until you know

The 1912 election was a rare four-way contest, After former President Theodore Roosevelt
failed to receive the Republican nomination, he called his own convention and created the
Progressive Party(nicknamed the "Bull Moose Party").

1912 presidential election item for Theodore Roosevelt. While I was searching them on the net I also saw one for Taft in the 1908 election as well as ones for Roosevelt rivals in the 1912 campaign.

Thanks to All.
