Item Description
1.25" with curl naming button maker Emress, 64 W. 23 St., NYC. While an exact date is not known, 1964 is the likely year. Dr. Muchinsky, in his book, calls the button "crudely made" because his book example shows uneven background color. This button replaced his book example in his collection. It does have better, consistent orange color, but there are very tiny darker tone  marks scattered throughout. Almost no surface wear and high gloss. VF. First we've been able to offer. Paul Muchinsky Collection.
