Item Description
1.5". No maker but has union back stamp. Button has a pair of gleeful bears shaking hands with each holding a bat. At bottom center, the printed date of "1929" has been covered (on the cello) by a spot of reddish-brown paint that matches the button art color and done by the manufacturer so this button could be repurposed for this year, rather than make a new button with the current year printed on it.
