Item Description
Each is 1.25". The button with Chinese text on ribbon has a Brunt back paper and other two have no maker's name but both likely also by Brunt. Named for Gaspar De Portola, the first Spanish governor of upper and lower California, the first Portola Festival of 1909 became the first city-wide event after the disastrous earthquake and fire of 1906. These are undated but all c. 1909-1915. Small wear on the ribbons. The "Round-Up" button has long cello crack and a couple of small crazed areas but displays well. The two Portola buttons are NM.
