When Theodore Roosevelt went on his African safari, the locals who were hired as guides and workers took to calling him “Bwano Tumbo.” Roughly translated, that Swahili phrase means something like “portly master.” Roosevelt’s exploits in Africa were devoured by newspaper readers back home – it was a television reality show before they invented TV. this 1 1/4 inch celluloid pictures the mighty hunter as “Bwano Tumbo.” Very scarce pin in excellent condition.
