McKinley Memorial, Columbus, Ohio - Measurement:
- 27.94 x 21.59 (Mount) (centimeters)
- Description:
- The button reading I HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE MEMORIAL / HAVE YOU? likely refers to the 1903-1907 fundraising campaigns associated with the McKinley National Memorial in Canton, Ohio or the McKinley Memorial in Columbus, Ohio. One button bears the mark P.N. Co. to the lower right of McKinley's portrait. Item donor Susan H. Douglas identifies all of these buttons as memorial items post-dating McKinley's assassination in 1901.
