Item Description
1.75" with W&H paper. The front design is a bit off center to the left but the button is still spectacular. Produced in fabulous color with the gorgeous scene dominated by full figure of woman standing on one foot. She is covered only by a gauzy veil with her golden blonde hair blowing in the wind set against a yellow full moon while the surrounding blue nighttime sky is accented by exploding fireworks above city buildings to amuse the throng of tiny people portrayed in an area next to her lower foot. On the top rim "Wichita" is accented left and right by wheat stalks while in her left arm she holds corn stalks featuring large ears of corn and in her right hand she holds a small black mask. Only the fifth example we've seen in our 50 years. There is one exceedingly light vertical scratch to the right of her face and this is just barely seen in reflected light. With normal viewing it does not show at all and the button displays Mint with high gloss. Among the most colorful and best designed buttons ever produced.
