Description
This is a RARE 1902 JOHN WEAVER FOR MAYOR (PHILADELPHIA) 3″ x 9″ SILK RIBBON W/ TR PROMINENT ROUGH RIDER VIGNETTE! TEDDY ROOSEVELT HEAVILY ENDORSED THE PHILADELPHIA/PENNSYLVANIA LOCAL REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES, AND PUT HIS NAME AND IMAGE BEHIND MANY OF THEM ON THEIR CAMPAIGNS. WITH THAT SAID, THIS IS THE FIRST ONE OF THESE WEAVER RIBBONS THAT WE HAVE EVER SEEN. IT HAS AN INLAID REAL PHOTO OF WEAVER ALONG WITH AN EVEN LARGER FULL COLOR VIGNETTE OF TEDDY ROOSEVELT ON HORSEBACK CARRYING AN AMERICAN FLAG. THIS COULD JUST AS EASILY BE A ROOSEVELT CAMPAIGN ITEM. THE RIBBON IS BRIGHT AND DISPLAYS BEAUTIFULLY. IT HAS SEVERAL INTERIOR SEPERATIONS, TWO OF WHICH HAVE BEEN SENSIBLY REINFORCED. DESPITE THESE, THIS RIBBON IS PROHIBITIVELY RARE, AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A “MUST-HAVE” FOR ANY SERIOUS TEDDY ROOSEVELT COLLECTOR! Our commitment is to provide you with quality coins and collectibles at the best possible prices. This piece is no exception. Please note, the coin and collectibles markets do fluctuate, and prices occasionally will change. In this rare circumstance, we will contact you first to verify your order.
