Item Description
Large 2.25" dia. cello pinback button w/classic image of Mickey waving a greeting w/one hand. Small text below image reads "Copy. 1928-1930 By W.E. Disney." The earliest movie theater clubs elected an officer slate headed by children dubbed "Chief Mickey Mouse" and "Chief Minnie Mouse." Buttons were produced for these and a few other offices such as the "Cheer Leader", see next item. The entire metal back has a layer of brown oxidation. The celluloid front has obvious brown staining however it retains full color and surface gloss. Surface wear is only visible in reflected light. While just Good it is one of only two examples known to us. The opening bid and estimate reflect the condition, not the rarity.
