1897 McKinley inaugural badge. The medal is in UNC condition. Missing the top hanger and the ribbon. About only 3,000 of these badges were issued to committee members who performed duty during the celebration. Even though there was a very strong demand from the public, and the 1897 medal were very well designed with a great commercial potential, the committee didn't make it a commemorative product as some previous inaugural issues did.
Estimated Value $400-UP.
