Winfield Scott Hancock 1880 Presidential Campaign deals Medal - Hancock and English - James Garfield and Chester Arthur - Democratic Party
This is neat! It's a campaign medal given out in support of the Winfield Scott Hancock and William English Democratic Party ticket in the 1880 presidential election. This ticket would be defeated by Republicans James A. Garfield and Chester A. Arthur. The obverse features side busts of the two men with 1880 stamped across. This was most likely done at an event or possibly after one proved they voted. The reverse has an image of a rooster (standing in for Hancock) and the words W. deals S. Hancock and R. H. English. There is a hole at the top where someone could run a string through to proudly wear their medal!
There are some condition issues with this medal. There is some worn areas and it can be hard to make out some of the letters and pictures. Please see the photos. This medal is 1” in diameter.
