"Antique Campaign Buttons"

By nonstopfeisty, 21 December, 2008
Description

These are three very old campaign buttons. I've researched them a bit online and I've narrowed down the time frame to 1900-1920. This may not be very accurate. We found these items in my husbands' grandfather's belongings. They represent campaigns for McKinley/Roosevelt, T. Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson. The McKinley/Roosevelt button has a couple of rust looking spots on the face but, it's still readable. My husband and I are not sure if we want to sell these items or not. At the moment, we just want to see if they have a value.
