Very rare and beautiful, 1908 William Howard Taft / James Schoolcraft Sherman Jugate Lithographed Tin Tip Tray from the Presidential Election of that year.

This fantastic, round, lithograph on tin Tip Tray measures approx. 4 1/4\" in diameter and features beautiful Chromolithograph portraits of the candidates in oval frames surrounded by American Flags with a view of the White House at the top and the names of the 10 other Republican Candidates for President from the party\'s first nominee - Charles Fremont - through Theodore Roosevelt. Text on the rim at the top reads \"Grand Old Party\" and text at the bottom reads \"1856 to 1908\".

This outstanding Tip Tray is very attractive and the patriotic motif is similar to the full size Tin Litho Campaign Plate also issued during this campaign. It is signed by the lithographer - the Meek Company of Coshocton, Ohio and copyright by J. H. Shaw of Philadelphia.
