Item Description
This button is one of the company's earliest and likely dates from 1899. It has a covered tin back bearing their name and address along with a vertical fixed pin. Text surrounding the front image includes their name and address "620 N. Broadway." Design about 1/16" off center towards the right but no other damage and NM displaying Mint. Only the third example we have seen in fifty years and the first we've been able to offer.
