Item Description
2-1/8". We know of only three other examples of this outstanding button. The button promotes both the company and product as well as the local fire company. Front text reads "Knox's Gelatine Running Team/Johnstown, N.Y./Compliments Of Tryon Hook & Ladder Co." The chef, naked except for his white hat, holds a gorgeous cut glass platter with tall mold of semi-transparent orange gelatine. Text on the pages of a book design behind him reads "'Taint Nun Too Much Cus It's Knox's.'" One of the very earliest buttons to include a premium offer on the back paper which reads "Any Lady Who Receives This Badge, If She Will Write Me Where She Got It And Inform Me If She Uses Knox's Gelatine Or Not, I Will Send Her Free My Cook Book, "Dainty Desserts For Dainty People" Which Costs 25¢. Knox's Is The Purest Gelatine Made. It's Not Like Pie, It's Healthy. Address, Knox, of Johnstown, N.Y./Button Made By F.F. Pulver Co./Rochester, N.Y." Light penciling on edges of back paper. Front edge shows tan age marks but still full gloss and bright color. One of the great and rarely offered golden age product advertising buttons. Fine. Alan Weinberg Collection.
