Teddy Roosevelt, Two 1904 Presidential Election Campaign Fobs
Two handsome men's fobs on adjustable black leather straps, ca. 1904, advertising the 1904 reelection campaign of Republican Party incumbent Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919).
The first fob depicts a bas relief portrait of Roosevelt wearing his iconic pince-nez glasses, encircled by Theodore Roosevelt" in raised lettering at top. Incised "Irvine & Jachens 1027 Market St. S.F." verso. White metal with copper finish. Expected wear including an uneven patina and some scratches verso. The medallion measures 1.5"" diameter; with strap, 5.25"" long. San Francisco-based company Irvine & Jachens, established in 1886, manufactured specialty tags, badges, and police stars. Just 2 years later, company offices would be forced to relocate following the earthquake and fire of 1906.
The second fob is an oblong brass tag engraved "Roosevelt / 1904 / Fairbanks / Washington." With expected light wear, else very good to near fine. Fob with strap measures 5.25"" long.
Theodore Roosevelt had assumed the presidency after the assassination of President William McKinley (1843-1901) in September 1901. Roosevelt was nominated the Republican Party's presidential candidate in 1904, but his preferred running mate was not. Instead, Indiana Senator Charles W. Fairbanks (1852-1918) joined Roosevelt's ticket as vice presidential candidate.
Roosevelt / Fairbanks faced off against Democratic Party presidential candidate and New York judge Alton Brooks Parker (1852-1926) and his running mate, West Virginia Senator Henry Gassaway Davis (1823-1916). Parker's allegations that Roosevelt accepted secret corporate campaign donations did not dissuade voters from reelecting Roosevelt, who surged ahead in the polls with his ""Square Deal"" campaign promises. Roosevelt handily won the election, obtaining 56% of the popular vote and 336 Electoral College votes.
