Pennsylvania Railroad button at top finial; during the Spanish-American War, more U.S. troops were moved from Pennsylvania to the Philippines than any other American state, so this button was likely traded by a Pennsylvanian serviceman. Period collection tag on interior. Very good condition with cracks and losses to boar tusks.
