Item Description
Sizes are 1” to 1.75”. First button is quite an oddity and was likely used at rodeos. Includes photograph of Gene Autry seated on his horse Champion. Apparently on quick notice they slapped a black panel over the eyes to represent the mask and placed the words “Lone Ranger” above the photo. Button has light trace of stain along right edge. Next button is c. 1938 and likely issued by Merita bread to “Members/Lone Ranger Safety Club.” Third button promotes newspaper strip in “Reading Times.” Fourth button is c. 1941 and again possibly from Merita bread. These last three are NM displaying Mint.
