Parker Davis 1904 AUTHENTIC White Elephant pinback

Description

This is an AUTHENTIC Parker & Davis 1904 celluloid political campaign pinback measuring 1.5” See condition info below.
In the middle is a white elephant with a saddle that reads “Goal, Rooseveltism, Grand Old Pirate, a Safety Stand-patism.” Around the elephant’s feet is a ribbon that says “Protection” with an oval football that says “The People “Rah! Rah! Rah!” and “A Safety’s the Score, Parker & Davis 1904.” Under the oval it says “copyright.” To the right of the oval is a circle that says “The Trusts.” Around the edge is a blue border with white text that says “Uncle Sam’s “White” Elephant” with a star on the left and right, and text that reads “Its’Game - Its’ Finish.”
Other pinbacks in last photo are NOT included. That photo is to show size, and how nicely it displays.
This pinback is NOT a reproduction or replica. This is the real deal. I am an APIC member and do not deal in repros, repins, fantasy, or fakes.
IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ FOR CONDITION:
** Overall, just normal surface wear with very light scratches & scuffs. However, as marked in photo, there is a small scratch over “Sam’s” with soiling. I didn’t want to take the risk trying to clean it. Also - I couldn’t get a good zoom of the elephant’s trunk, but at the very bottom where it bends, there is a tiny scratch with soiling as well. The celluloid has no bumping, cracking, crazing, or foxing. Color is still nice & vibrant. There is NO backpaper. Back is somewhat rusted and bulges in a few places. Collet has a small dent, which in no way affects the rest of the pin. **
Condition is "Used". Please zoom in to ALL photos to see condition. It is sold AS IS.
