Very rare ''Ghost'' button from the 1904 Presidential election, promoting Theodore Roosevelt in the spirit of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln as ''Soldier'' and ''Statesman''. One of the rarest buttons from the 1904 election, with less than 10 examples extant. Roosevelt would go onto win the election in a landslide, the first President to win in his own right after ascending to the Presidency after the death of his predecessor. Backed by Baltimore Badge paper on the verso, and with their copyright stamp to lower curl. Button measures 1.25'' in diameter. Small spot at Washington's shoulder and very discreet staining over ''combined'' at the top edge and on Lincoln's arm. In very good plus condition with fully intact celluloid.
