Item Description
 1.25" w/W&H paper but text somehow faded away with just traces still seen. The button, however, has just barely seen 1/16" age dot at 9'clock with rest Exc. Button shows Uncle Sam raising a paddle labeled "U.S." with a large pointed nail extending through the wood. He has already applied this weapon to the rear end of a Spaniard lying across his lap. The result is five bloody holes in the Spaniard's rear end above a tiny caption on the unfortunate Spaniard's leg "S-Pain",  representing the word "Spain." This is the button photographed and featured for the book (pg. 176) Button Power by Carter/Hake. Comes w/Hake's COA.
