Item Description
This is one of Whitehead & Hoag's masterpieces. Their name appears in tiny text on the bottom edge of this large 4" button which has metal covered deeply concave back. A bar pin was once fastened on the upper metal rim edge that is now gone but a neat vintage, brass replacement is in position. There is a little excess solder on the upper metal back. Above the pin, on the back curl, a very narrow .5" long line of the celluloid surface is gone and this extends to a very tiny 3/16" wide by only 1/16" deep spot of surface cello off the above the letter "V" of Wave". The button has no stain and has high gloss. Rising above swirling foamy ocean waters is the machine itself supported by four legs. Machine and the button rim both carry the name of the maker "Voss Bro's Mfg. Co., Davenport, Iowa." One of only two examples known to us. This exact example realized nearly $900 in our July 2013 auction. Overall VF and a spectacular advertising button.
