This colorful William Jennings Bryan pin is almost like looking at a kaleidoscope on paper. It’s a 1908 celluloid jugate with an spectacularly colorful design showing Bryan with running mate John Kern and Lady Liberty. The 1 3/4 inch celluloid is dented on the collett and a little uneven at bottom, but it’s rare item with amazing color.

APIC 2014 Denver National Convention Update

OVERVIEW REGISTRATION AND RESERVATIONS

We are really excited about APIC members' tremendous early response to the forthcoming APIC National Convention to be held in Denver in late July and early August. We have every reason to believe that our Denver Convention will be one the best ever. We have a packed calendar of events from Tuesday, July 29th, through Saturday, August 2. We will have two live auctions, a silent auction and the walk-in Denver rules auctions (Seattle is not a good word to use in Denver – NFL fans understand this). The bourse will be open Friday evening and well intoSaturday afternoon to attract walk-ins. There will be Chalk and Awe, the World Series of Trivia, a Buffalo Meat Dinner, a Saturday Night Entertainment Extravaganza (featuring Dixey City Limits and other great entertainment) , Denver Mint Tours, High Tea at the Brown Palace Hotel, Square Dancing, Seminars, a Presentation by a renowned Colorado History Professor, Chapter Meetings, an Old Fashioned Bull Session and Much, Much More.

The tremendous response means that our room reservations to date are months ahead of projections. Table reservations are increasing a quite a clip as well. Therefore, if you have not as yet registered for the Convention or have not yet reserved your hotel room, we encourage you to do so now.  We would not want you to miss the experience at the convention hotel, the Crowne Plaza Denver International Airport and the $99 per night rate.  Also we want to be sure that all APIC members who want bourse tables get them.

Remember also that we will have free shuttles running most of the convention week that can get you to many of the museums, shopping, restaurants, sights etc. This should make it very family vacation friendly! Come early – stay late – you’ll be glad you did!

President Garfield Nose Thumber Antique Campaign Charm

Estimated Price: $400 - $620

Description: This is a little figure of Garfield on the campaign trail, and he looks quite stately and then thumbs his nose at the opposition! The arm slides out subtly to put forth the surprising expression. This piece has great detail on either side, with Garfield's name marked on his tall hat. It appears to be brass, and is 1 1/2 inches tall. Its condition is excellent for its age, and it functions smoothly. The hole on top is for a chain, to be worn as a charm, or pin.This is a fun U.S. presidential campaign item, and it will be a treat for any political collector.
