William Henry Harrison: 1840 Log Cabin Sulphide Campaign Brooch. 20mm x 25mm pink William Henry Harrison sulphide, in a salmon color! These pieces are more often encountered with black backgrounds, not salmon colored backgrounds. One would be hard pressed to source a finer example. 

Condition

At the very top edge of the glass is a pinpoint rough spot, possibly as made. A superb specimen, which looks to retain its original pin.
