Item Description
1.5” with name of maker Bastian on the curl. Button is very similar to item #679 but produced probably a year or two later c. 1911-1912. The image of Santa with toys piloting bi-plane is close to identical on each button but this button features a totally different view of the department store. On this version there are extensions and skylights on the rooftop plus a pair of American flags flying in the breeze. In our experience this one is a bit scarcer than the other version. This one is NM and displays Mint.
