Item Description
15/16" with photo of Brace Beemer wearing hat and mask portraying The Lone Ranger seated on Silver. The image is identical to that shown on a 1933 exhibit card. Button was likely made between April and May 1933 while Beemer played the title role. The maker's name Parisian Novelty Co., Chicago appears on the bottom curl. Inscriptions read "Hi-Yo Silver!" and "The Lone Ranger." A similar 1.25" button exists with the same slogan but a different photo. Trivial silver luster loss from the reverse and right side has narrow .25" long air mark on the red edge, although no break in the celluloid. Almost no surface wear and essentially Mint as made. Our one other example back in auction #188 sold for $550.
