The picture shows a view of this Old Celluloid William J. Bryan Political Campaign Pin Back Button. This pinback button is believed to be from the 1896 Presidential Campaign. It pictures William J. Bryan in a suit and tie within an American flag rim. The front is marked as follows:

Wm J. BRYAN

The back has a paper insert that reads as follows:

SWEET CAPORAL CIGARETTE
Button Manufactured By
The Whitehead & Hoag Co.
Newark, N.J.
Badges & Buttons
Patented July 17, 1894, April 14, 1896, July 21, 1896
