Description: This scarce celluloid pin measures approx. 1 1/4" and has some light surface foxing as evidenced by the scan. Here's some info on the candidate: Thomas Louis Hisgen (November 26, 1858 – August 27, 1925) was an American petroleum producer and politician. He refused to sell his firm to the Standard Oil Trust and was chosen by the Massachusetts Independence League as its candidate for Governor of Massachusetts in 1907. After a strong third place performance, Hisgen became the logical choice as presidential nominee of the national Independence Party. Although he toured the country on the campaign trail, Hisgen's poorer-than-expected showing at the polls in November 1908 spelled the end for the Independence Party, many of whose members rejoined the Democrats. Hisgen subsequently remained in the public eye as a periodic commentator on events in the petroleum industry. Thanks for looking at this auction.
