Item Description
Steeplechase Park was a 15-acre amusement park in Coney Island, Brooklyn, New York City. Steeplechase Park was created by entrepreneur George C. Tilyou in 1897 and operated until 1964. It was the first of the three large amusement parks built on Coney Island, the other two being Luna Park (1903) and Dreamland (1904). This 7/8" button is the second design version.

This is the rarer of the two designs. About our third seen. NM.
