Roosevelt, Theodore, Very Scarce 1904, 2" Cello Campaign Button Set in Gilt Tin Enhancer "For Roosevelt No Change Wanted" with Ribbon. Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt, 26th President of the United States served two terms, 1901-1909. This campaign button is for his re-election in 1904 and is a 2" cello split-pin button that has been affixed permanently to a 4" gilt tin "enhancer" and suspended from a wide, red, white and blue ribbon that was then pinned to the delegate or individual. The enhancer reads across the top; ROOSEVELT and below "For Roosevelt, No Change Wanted, Represented by the Executive Committee. The center button is in excellent condition, the tin enhancer having some gilt loss but still very much legible. The ribbon obviously is fragile but intact. We could not find this button using three reference books. Estimated Value $250 - UP
