Item Description
3" litho with metal back and bar pin, no maker. The Sinclair advertising team flirted with the dinosaur concept as early as 1930 and in 1932 registered Dino then considered a brontosaurus but now known as an apatosaurus. The Chicago Century of Progress world's fair of 1933-34 featured a life-sized Dino and this button is from that era.  Paint on left center has a 1.5" narrow streak that has lost its gloss but overall VF.
