Item Description
Sizes are .5 " to 3". Most of these are labor related but first pair reference prices on NYC street cars c. 1900. Third is one of the earliest newspaper boycott buttons. This compares the New York Sun to a rat. Tiny age mark at 3 o'clock and stain/pencil on backpaper. Fourth with light rim stain is for early "Cloakmakers And Furriers Defense" and fifth is "Help Feed The Striking Miners". Next two are 1930s for International Seamen's Union. Row 2 #5 is classic anti- Taft / Hartley Law but very slight dent and age tone lower right.
Many of these are limited and rare issues. Row 5 #1 is matchbook (5 remain) with others all buttons. All Exc. to Mint, exceptions noted.
