1888 or 1892 Benjamin Harrison Gold Presidential Campaign Tin Shell Disc w/ Tabs
It's difficult to tell if this 1.75" gold colored, embossed metal tin disc was from the 1888 or the 1892 presidential campaigns when Benjamin Harrison ran for the top job. Because there's a mate to it for his democrat party opponent, Grover Cleveland, they could have been used in either year, or for each, since they ran against each other both times. Ben won in 1888 when Grover ran for re-election, then Grover beat him in 1892 when Ben ran for re-election. Sorry, we weren't around at that time to know for sure what year this is. And we aren't exactly sure what its use was with the two, sharp prong things - perhaps they went on a cloth campaign parade hat. But it's too big to be a tobacco tag, which also had prongs on them. We are also listing a similar item for Ben, but it's not gold colored. This is in nice condition but please look at our images to judge condition for yourself so you can be happy with your purchase. S & H on this will be $5.50 sent well-protected first class with tracking. We are members of APIC and sell only authentic presidential (and other collectible) material so buy with confidence, and we'll be happy to combine S & H costs on multiple purchases even though eBay says we won't. We just issue a refund for any overpayment. 7871
