1881 James Garfield Canal Boy to the White House Memorial Token or Medal:
$30.00

James Garfield was born in a log cabin in northeastern Ohio and, while a youth, helped pull the ropes along the barge canals towing boats to earn money for the family. And that poor upbringing is to what this 1" metal memorial token refers. He was the victorious republican nominee with Chester Arthur and when the president was shot on July 2nd, 1881, later dying from the wounds in mid-September, Arthur took over the top job.
We have a similar campaign or inaugural token which we are also listing but know this is a memorial example since it has his September 19 death date on it. Plus, the 1845 date from his youthful working found on our campaign example has been removed on this one. We believe it is brass, but we aren't medal specialists by any means.
It isin nicecondition but please look at our images to judge condition for yourself so you can be happy with your purchase. Shipping on it will be $5.50 sent well-protected, first class with tracking. We are members of APIC and sell onlyauthentic presidential (and other collectible) material so buy with confidence. And we'll be happy to combine S & H costs on multiple purchases even though says we don't. We just give you a refund for any overpayment.
