This is an ORIGINAL vintage metal pin or badge. It is embossed: "SOUVENIR...INAUGURATION...J.C. WALTON GOVERNOR, STATE OF OKLAHOMA...OKLAHOMA CITY 1923...JAN. 8-10...1923." If you are not familiar with the career of J.C. (Jack) Walton, I encourage you to look him up - it's QUITE a story! The former Mayor of Oklahoma City, OK. he was elected Governor in 1922, and inaugurated in January of 1923. He was impeached in less than a year. In an effort to curb the increasing power of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) he declared martial law in parts of Oklahoma, which was deemed to have been illegal, under the Oklahoma State Constitution. He was impeached and removed from office before the end of 1923. This badge measures a combined 2 & 1/2 inches long and is 1 & 1/2 inch wide at the widest point. The condition is VERY GOOD, with some minor wear, but no serious damage. It is guaranteed to be old & original - made in the 1920's - or your money back.Thank you for shopping at Funky retro MonkeyWE stand behind all of our merchandise and we believe in treating our customers like we want to be treated!
