Item Description
1.25" with Cammall Badge, Boston paper. Collet holds two ribbons. The back one has two obvious, but partial splits while the front ribbon is mostly gone with about 1" remaining with text "Souvenir/Shelby, Mont." The words Oil City are gone. The button's cello surface has about 16 pinpoint cream paint dots widely scattered but so small as to largely be unseen except for one dot on Dempsey's knee. Button displays NM but we will call it VF. Rare and one of the few early boxing buttons to show both fighters. Paul Muchinsky Collection Book Example.
