Item Description
All are 1.25". First from 1899 has W&H paper. Issued for Terre Haute showing "Miss Jolly Belle And Miss Jolly Dont' Care/With Mister Jollier Well On The Way To The Fair." Ladies dresses were once slightly darker red but button remains clean and glossy. Next for 1916 "Indiana State Centennial" has gorgeous color portrait of "Gen. Anthony Wayne" superimposed over an early frontier stockade. Back paper reads "Compliments Of Perfection Biscuit Company." Last two buttons each have back paper by Pulver, 1904. Both name the same town one with rather risqué image of woman straddling a donkey and the other with woman kicking up one foot towards a ring held by a man in clown costume. These three are NM displaying Mint.
