Item Description
1.75" and one of only two known to us. Reverse holds W&H paper used only 1898-1900. Front text "Fatima, The Midway Dancer At Hagenback's." This was a famous menagerie and traveling circus, which appeared both at the 1898 expo as well as at St. Louis in 1904. Given this back paper it is likely the button was a give away at the Trans-Mississippi Expo. A superb example in NM condition with high gloss.
