President William Harrison Campaign Button

[Poptopagain]

About a week ago prior to all of the snow hitting our area, Riverrat and I hit a local spot that has surrendered many a 3 ringer. One of the days finds was this button in great condition. It has a picture of a log cabin on the front and has the words "Harrison & Reform."

I later found out that this button is a campaign button for the 1840 presidential election. Very nice find but absolutely no guilt left on it. HH

Very unique find. Is that the best it can be cleaned?

Nice button, the Harrison buttons have been posted here before, a lot of campaign buttons and medals came out for him.

Hell of a button! Great history. Buttons don't get enough respect (that's why my avatar is a button), this thread should have 40 replies by now! C'mon gang!

That was a cool find, first whole button I have ever seen someone find. That field is holding many more great future finds. We will get out there after this 3 feet of snow melts.

Very impressive, looked at the other ones and yours is still very impressive!

That would be one of the highlights from my 25 years of finds, congrats.
