This item is a campaign pin. The pin features an empty bucket attached to a red ribbon which connects to a red and white button that has the text, "The Empty Dinner Pail." The pin features a straight pin. 1 1/4 inches x 3 inches. The empty dinner pail represents William Jenning Bryan's supporters in the 1900 election. President McKinley's slogan was "the Full Dinner Pail." so this pin is opposing that idea. Maker's mark: W.F. Miller 134 Park Row New York.Collection
