<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 24555555, member: 101855&quot;]If some of you would like, I could post more medalets that were issued for other campaigns. There are 1793 George Washington inaugural buttons. I have only one of those. Beyond a few more common varieties, they are quite difficult even if you have lots of money. </p><p><br /></p><p>The series really starts with Andrew Jackson in 1824. After they were issued every four years with other years in between, especially during the Civil War. </p><p><br /></p><p>The celluloid campaign button was patented in 1894, but came into its own in 1896. It replaced the medalets as a cheaper alternative by the 1900 election. Modern tokens and medalets have been made since then, but the artwork is almost always inferior.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
