Item Description
1.25” with back paper by American Artworks. We knew this button existed but we believe it is the first time we have been able to offer it in five decades. Beautiful color scene of Santa flying airplane above tiny buildings below with yellow moon above. Side of plane is inscribed, “Spirit Of 1927.” Santa sits in cockpit with rear seat overflowing with toys and tree. The advertising inscription is simply “Marx For Toys” and it is quite possible this button was produced for wholesale toy dealers only and likely given away at the annual New York City industry Toy Fair of that year. That would account for the button’s great rarity. Essentially Mint.
