Item Description
Sizes are 5/8" to 2-1/8" for the buttons. First, the three non-buttons consisting of 5.5" "For President" ribbon with pin, next is a massive 3.25" heavy solid brass designed as a watch fob but entirely impractical for that purpose due to the size and weight. This is 1/8" thick with raised image and text around "Gov. Albert C. Ritchie 1920 1927". Rare and Mint. Last non-button is 10" long window sticker gummed on front. Three folds and light wear. First seen and VG. There are 22 buttons counting the two with Maryland flag as only two even through each has an added button below. Amazingly, of the 21 portrait buttons in the lot, 18 are real photos without dot screen. Just a few have surface wear in reflected light. All Exc. with most NM to Mint. An extraordinary collection assembled by Leon Rowe.
