I posted this in the Today's Finds forum yesterday, but nobody has been able to find a match for this W.H. Harrison Campaign pin or button (I'm not sure which) that I found the other day. Its flat and has no back mark that I can see. I was only able to find one other campaign item that was even remotely similar, and is really wasn't close at all to being a match. Has anyone seen this before? Any help would be appreciated.

Item numbers 1 through 991 in auction 197
Item Description
.75" across with the original brass pin extending a full additional .25" to the right. Unusual aspects of this piece are the slogan appearing on a curved line at the top of the scene rather than having his name at the top with the word "Reform" at the bottom as it appears on so many other brooches. In addition, most other brooches include the depiction of a flagpole whereas on this no pole or flag is present. The log cabin with grass below is incredibly detailed and at the far left is a cider barrel beneath a tree. The entire bkg. of the scene has very fine horizontal accent lines. Only example we know of with this design and in Exc. condition. Rare. (J - $700 to $1000)

Check out the Wiki page of W.H. Harrison, especially the paragraph about the 1840 presidential campaign. Makes your cool find even cooler.
