Item Description
First is 7/8" with his name and "Universal Star" from a small early 1930s set of movie star buttons. Exc. Remaining buttons are all 1.75" and likely souvenirs from circus or rodeo appearances. The button of him on horseback is quite scarce although there are small tan marks mostly around the outer edges. Still with full gloss. Fine. Rare. Next is his photo on plain background and this has intentionally made scratch lines intersecting at the center and radiating out about .75" to 1". These scratches don't break the celluloid but they are obvious in reflected light. With normal viewing they show very little and the button has full gloss and no stain. VG. Last is a variant of the third and this is rare with the grey background surrounding his photo. Trivial and normal oxidation on the back with the front NM displaying Mint.
