Item Description
First is 1.25" from the 1950s with curl naming maker "Boothe-Kent Toronto." Reverse has tiny 1/8" cello split that makes the slightest trace of a bump on left edge when viewed from the front. Button has a good bit of surface scratching but all are very light and really just seen mostly with magnification. Button still displays at least NM. Next is the scarce 1.75" button from Howdy's 1952 mock presidential campaign. Curl reads "©Kagran." Center right has small raised bump caused by reverse bar pin during assembly. White background has just the most trivial touch of a few faint tan age marks. The piece still displays extremely Fine. Howdy was campaigning for President Of The Kids Of The United States. We aren't sure how the buttons were distributed but they are quite scarce.
