Couple of losers!
In Response To: 1888 Political Token or ??? ()

But, yes, there existed tokens of the type you show. For the history of the campaign, see:

Your token, if it were complete, would have a brass eagle with safety-pin on top so it could be clipped to, say, a jacket, and the medallion would dangle.

But take heart: Grover got his revenge and returned to The White House in the 1892 elections. Rrrrrrooaarrrrr!
