Item Description
First is rarely seen 15/16" button with photo of Brace Beemer wearing hat, mask, vest and crossed gun belts portraying The Lone Ranger seated on Silver. The image is identical to that shown on a 1933 exhibit card. Button was almost certainly made between April and May 1933 while Beemer, also the station manager, voiced the title role on Detroit radio station WXYZ. The maker's name Parisian Novelty Co., Chicago appears on the bottom curl. Inscriptions reads "Hi-Yo Silver!" and "The Lone Ranger." A similar 1.25" button exists with the same slogan but a different photo. Slight trace of a tan mark by his raised elbow. Full gloss, VF. Second is rolled penny with hole for key chain. Shown is TLR on Silver with cartoon balloon "Hi-Yo Silver" and rim text "World's Fair Greetings From The Lone Ranger And Bond Bread". From NYWF 1939 and Rare. Light tarnish, Exc. Last and from 1938 is silvered brass and enamel pin by Bastian with text Lone Ranger Merita Salesmen's Club". A very rare badge for bread company salesmen. Some luster off edges. Fine. The cent and pin are the actual example shown in "The Official Price Guide To Pop Culture Memorabilia" by Ted Hake and comes with COA. The button unlisted in that book.
