<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 26075731, member: 101855&quot;]Political pieces during this period were often watch fobs. Here&#039;s one for William Jennings Bryan&#039;s 1908 campaign.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1660886[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is watch fob from 1920. Oddly enough Franklin D. Roosevelt, was later elected to four terms as president, was the Democratic Party&#039;s vice presidential nominee in 1920. His running mate was James Cox. Franklin Roosevelt is the only man ever to be on a losing ticket as the vice presidential candidate who later came back to win the presidency. </p><p><br /></p><p>A Cox - Roosevle jugage button sells for tens of thousands of dollar, but this watch sells for less than $100. The reason is that someone discovered a huge hoard of them many years ago.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1660887[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>This button sold for $33,000 years ago, and no I don&#039;t own it. I was close, but another guy, who made $10,000 on his purchase beat me to it.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1660888[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>BTW, I really like the Illinois - Lincoln commemorative half dollar in the frame. I have seen those pieces a couple of times, but never got up the nerve to pay the price for one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
