Description

Offered here are the two items shown, great relics from the struggle for the 19th Amendment. First is a very rare .75-inch pinback button for the campaign to ratify the amendment in Pennsylvania in 1915. The pin is in excellent condition and still has the Whitehead and Hoag paper label in back. The amendment failed that year in Pennsylvania by 155,000 votes. This fact was duly reported in the most optimistic way by my second item -- the November 3, 1915 edition of the Stockton (CA) Daily Evening Record, which focused on the increased positive  vote in 3 states where the amendment had just failed again. The 16 pages of this edition have been removed from a binder and are no longer attached to one another. The pages are all  there but very fragile with some chipping of the edges. I can send you just the front page if you don't want to bother with the rest -- either way I'll have to ship the paper fully open so as not to fold it, and I'll have to send it Priority to get the handling it will require. Both items deserve a new home in a 19th Amendment display.
