Item Description
1.5" with lightly stained back paper by St. Louis Button Co. Button's bottom edge names the issuer as "Wolff & Marx Men's Store." Center features wonderful depiction of large eyeball staring through a knot hole in a wooden plank. San Antonio was one of the charter members of the Texas League in 1888 and has since hosted a number of other Texas League franchises. We estimate this button to be from 1910-1920 era. Among the earliest and certainly among the most graphic use of the knot hole concept. The cello has one faint hairline diagonal scratch barely seen even in reflected light. Overall NM and displays Mint. Only the second we've seen with our first exceeding $200.
