Item Description
3" with additional text on the button "WLW-A Music Shop." In 1953, Cincinnati based Crosley Broadcasting Corp. branded its stations in Indiana and Ohio with the call letters WLW. When they purchased WLTV in Atlanta they changed it to WLW-A. Van Dyke hosted a twice daily lip synch show in Atlanta where he and Phil Erickson (known as the Merry Mutes) mouthed lyrics to hit records. The earliest Dick Van Dyke collectible known to us. Button has small indent on extreme edge at 9 o'clock and in reflected light there are numerous but very tiny and light surface hairline scratches. Overall Fine and still displaying VF. Rare.
