Item Description

This and several other buttons in the series relate to an event at the famous 101 Ranch in Bliss, Oklahoma held June 11, 1905. The history of this amazing event can be found on the internet.

There is a vertical stickpin fastener. Metal back has 5% with darker oxidation marks. Front has .25” vertical scratch on rim between the words “Chase” and “101” but all else is clean and with full gloss. Rare. Our last exceeded $800 .See 101 Ranch poster #798.
