LaFollette Did It Teapot Dome Pin

The Teapot Dome scandal was big news in the 1920s and became an issue in the 1924 election. This scarce little 1 1/8 inch brass teapot pin reminded voters about the scandal. Embossed on the front are the words, "LaFollette Did It." Bob LaFollette was the senator who uncovered the scandal. This pin gives him credit for making it public. Excellent.
