Item Description
2" missing back paper but known to be produced by the St. Louis Button Co. Each leader's full name in a red circle.

A clean and glossy example w/only a very faint yellow mark above "Winston" in the white field that is barely noticeable. Otherwise only minor surface wear. Exc. Historic and scarce.
