Item Description
The Shield, was one of the most popular comic book heroes of the 1940s, fighting to protect the American way of life in a patriotic costume that made him invulnerable. In fact, The Shield was the first hero to wear such a costume, introduced in "Pep Comics" #1 in 1940, pre-dating Captain America by over a year. The Shield also appeared in "Shield-Wizard Comics" between 1940 and 1944 and the character's popularity gave rise to The Shield G-Man Club. Offered here is the larger, 1.75" dia. club button featuring the classic image of The Shield bending a metal beam w/"Truth - Justice - Patriotism - Courage" code and "Shield G-Man Club" name at top. This size variety was only used during the first year of the club in 1940 before being changed to smaller size, resulting in the rarity of this larger example. Trace oxidation to metal back, but front remains totally bright and clean w/high gloss. Tiny trace wear upon magnification but Exc. overall.
