Item Description
The four celluloid buttons are 1.25" and the litho tin mechanical button is 1-5/8". First two buttons appear similar but there are many differences in the artwork between the two and  most obvious is that the one on the left names "Mussi" and "Adolf" while the one on the right names "Mussolini" and "Hitler". Third item continues the rat theme showing them as figural rats running with caricatured faces and their names along each tail. See additional rat-themed items #857. Fourth is anti-Japanese with the slogan "Wanted For Murder/Dead Or Alive." Last is the "Let's Pull Together" mechanical with curl naming Evans Novelty Co.  Chicago. Pulling the (replaced) black string rises the metal die cut figure of Hitler as if Uncle Sam is hanging him. Very tiny traces of edge wear on the figure and the end of the moveable lever from repeated hangings. . Still VF.
