Silver Button

[Chris R]

This appears to be related to Williams Jenning Bryans Presidential campaign. But I have not been able to find another one like it anywhere on the internet. Looks like a coat button or maybe a lapel or hat pin.If anybody knows I sure would like to know exactly what and where it was made.

I suspect it is the top of a stick pin.

Maybe a campaign pin for McKinley. 16 to 1 ratio silver to gold. Trying to find one like it.

Here's something like it - it looks like maybe the stud broke off on yours. My guess is it was pierced it at the top to be able to keep wearing it.

very cool find. 'Free Silver' was an interesting and controversial subject.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_silver
