Lot #6:

Bryan Shield

Somehow, they managed to get William Jennings Bryan to sit still long enough to make the image that went onto this magnificent pin. Bryan traveled more than 18,000 miles and gave around 750 speeches during his first presidential campaign, so he didn’t stay in one place very long. This 1 3/4 inch celluloid has a few very minor surface bumps and still has its Ehrman back paper.
