Item Description
Beautiful 1.25" with quoted text appearing on the side of the vehicle. This is the only button we know of that uses the term "Horseless Carriage." Complete with back paper which for some reason is often missing. Back paper shows Montgomery Ward guarantee and includes "Your Money Refunded If Goods Are Not As Represented." Bottom curl names maker W&H along with an 1896 patent date. A 1/16" barely seen age tone dot above the driver's head but overall a superior example and rarely found this nice overall.
