Item Description
1.25" from set of 5 issued in 1939. Judging by the serial numbers on the 5 different buttons, only 1,000 of each were produced and this one is in the 2,000 series numbered "2267." Text below shows Tinman with inscription "Jack Haley M-G-M's Wizard Of Oz." We sold our personal collection set of 5 in auction #180 and this one far exceeded all others realizing $1,340.00. This one has just a little uneveness to the celluloid surface but this is only noticeable to the touch. Displays bright and clean although just a hair off-center to the upper right. No backpaper as issued and with a little heavier than usual oxidation but it causes no staining at all of the celluloid. VF and only the second or third example we've seen in 38 years.
