Owner Comments:

This may be one of the most historically and politically significant pieces of the entire set. "Polish Day" at the Pam Am was to be celebrated on September 12. But the assassination of President William McKinley on September 6th by Leon Czolgosz, son of Polish immigrants, led to the cancellation of the event by community leaders.

This is a mint state example that has reflective surfaces with a myriad of lines. This seems to be a rare piece at R6 as I have seen at most four other examples. Those others were all either well worn or damaged.
