Three antique lapel pins to include: "Warren G. Harding for President," 1.25" in diameter; "Harding and Coolidge" and "Coolidge and Dawes," both .75" in diameter. Head shot of Harding on the side of an elephant and "G.O.P." written just above the elephant. These three pins hold a great deal of history. From Wikipedia: "Harding ran for the Republican nomination for president in 1920, but was considered a long shot before the convention. When the leading candidates could not garner a majority, and the convention deadlocked, support for Harding increased, and he was nominated on the tenth ballot." Harding was in office from March, 1921 to August, 1923 when he died of a heart attack. His vice president, Calvin Coolidge, succeeded him. Coolidge ran for president and won in 1924 with Charles Gates Dawes. From Britannica.com: ..."An ambassador and author of the “Dawes Plan” for managing Germany’s reparations payments after World War I, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace jointly with Sir Austen Chamberlain in 1925."
