Item Description
1.25" without maker name or back paper. c. 1910 for tuberculosis sanatorium which opened outside Montreal near the town of Ninette.

A gorgeous and rare button with woman in flowing gown whose torch shines a beam on light on the double barred cross symbolizing the fight against TB. On the back, a narrow 1" line of cello did not fold under the metal collet, but cello lays flat and the button's front is essentially Mint. From color plate page #158. Rare. Comes w/Hake's COA.
