Item Description
2-1/8" with W&H paper. An early W&H stock design with many different imprints. This, largest size we've seen, poses question "Which Do You Want?" Below a sexy blonde lady is being thrown off an ass. The image is so similar to the designs that can change from one scene to another depending on finger placement and image positioning, yet we've never figured out an alternate scene for this design. Rest of text is "Ask Rochester City No. 28 New York." Hake book Collectible Pin-Back Buttons photo example Firemen Section #336. Comes with Hake's COA. Tiny surface wear in reflected light. Exc., displays Mint. Only example known with this size and text.
