Item Description
First, at 7/8" with W&H back paper, is the historic first ever camera advertising button. Graphic depiction of hand holding a small camera with surrounding text "You Press The Button/We Do The Rest." While the word "Kodak" does not appear on the item this was the advertising slogan coined by George Eastman, the founder of Kodak, in 1888. Tiniest bit of faint age tone on the index finger of the hand but very minor and all else is glossy and mint. Second is rare 1.25" button with back paper from Pacific Regalia, Portland. Depicted is camera on tripod with dates of convention in 1901 and group name "Photographer's Association Of The Pacific North West." Only example we've seen and essentially Mint.
