Presidential Campaign Brass Button

[size=large]Found this over the weekend- Stephen Douglas/Herschel Johnson Brass Campaign Button. Found one sold on Ebay for $175, others, like new, listing for over $600. It appears the middle of this item must house those photos in an iron plate of some kind, as mine has rust on both sides. Picture of what it looks like new included.

(1) Any ideas on how to clean/restore the center section?

(2) What do you think it's worth in this shape?

Thank you in advance for your advice!

nice piece of history - the center piece is probably not recoverable. I think the photo was probably a tintype, which is mainly iron. Still a great find, congrats.
