Anderson Americana Auction #181

Lot #18:

Theodore Roosevelt the Winner

Big and bold – that describes Theodore Roosevelt and it also describes this very scarce Roosevelt campaign pin. It’s a 2 1/8 inch celluloid that proclaims TR as “The Winner” and a picture that looks like he’s willing to take the issue up with you if you disagree. Later image of TR means this is most likely a 1912 item. Pin still has original Boston Badge Co. back paper and is in excellent condition. A terrific TR pin from the Gil Gleason collection.
