Rare 1896 William Jennings Bryan Arthur Sewell Brass Mechanical Eagle \"16 to 1\" Political Pin
There was also a much more common Republican/McKinley version of this pin without the 16 on the eagle\'s back and with a Silver bug in the eagle\'s mouth.
The pin is approximately 1 5/8\" tall.Made of brass with spring activated wings that open to reveal tiny photos(missing) of William Jennings Bryan and Arthur Sewell under the wings.....the original photos are missing on this pin but replacement photos could be added for display purposes.The tiny tab clasp to secure the wings in the closed position is also missing.
The top of the eagle\'s wings and body were originally covered in a silver luster and revealed \"16\" on the body when opened.The gold bug in the eagle\'s mouth has a tiny \"1\" stamped on the body.
Special Note: The last photo shows a similar pin (NOT THIS PIN) with the candidate photos intact.
Please view all photos carefully to determine the actual condition of this pin.
