Item Description
1.5" dia. celluloid button featuring Dick Caulkins art. Front and center is Buck Rogers w/Dr. Huer looking over his shoulder. Above Buck is a small rocketship and a mountain peak is to left of him. From 1936 by unknown issuer but perhaps issued by local newspaper to promote the strip. Prior to this button's arrival to us, we knew of only three other examples and all three of those were low grade with evident staining and wear. In our July 2014 auction one of those examples sold for $632, even in that VG condition. The example we are offering here is a high grade example w/deep blue bkg. color and super high gloss. Metal back has just the slightest trace of surface oxidation. Front is NM. Having seen only four of these in our 52 years we feel safe in saying this is the best example extant. Among the rarest of all Buck Rogers items. A must have for even the most advanced Buck and/or character pinback button collection.
