Item Description
Although not visually apparent except from maybe a foot away, each of these has tiny off white paint dots, much the color of the button's background and all tinier than 1/16". Dempsey has about two dozen, Gibbons about six- but we emphasize all under 1/16"- many at 1/32" or even 1/64". However, Gibbons has slightly bulging pair of cello splits by the collet- one 3/16" and one 3/8". Spring pins both hold rwb ribbon remnants. Both buttons have little actual wear and retain full gloss. Muchinsky notes the fancier style type compared to all block letters. Rare. Fine. Paul Muchinsky Collection Book Examples.
