Item Description
2-1/8" w/W&H back paper. The viewer's focus is drawn to the black suited rower with all other details relegated to the background. Secondary focus is on "Duluth" which indeed was the powerhouse of rowing in America in 1916. This  button (and many other great ones) did not get picked by the designer of Button Power but it did make the post-book limited-edition zine that Christen Carter produced titled "20 Buttons That Didn't Make Button Power: 125 Years Of Saying It With Buttons." It comes with a copy of  the zine with this button featured on pg. 22.  Button is rare and NM. Alan Weinberg Collection.
