Item Description
This 2.25" button was produced for the Massachusetts "Fore River" ship building yard during WWII and includes the slogan "Ships For 'V'ictory." At the center is an insignia-like design in Disney style cartoon art showing a turtle on roller skates wearing a working man's hat and glove carrying an I-beam under one arm and a carton marked "Rush" under the other arm. Outer edges have some scattered but small spots along with a couple below the turtle's head but about 90% of the piece is clean and all remains glossy. There is no artist or maker's name. Only example we've seen and from the Hake collection. Rare.
