Item Description
1.25" without dot pattern which unfortunately has 3 long celluloid cracks which meet just to the left of her nose. The crack lines show slightly in reflected light and are noticeable to the touch but the celluloid remains totally clean. She was known as "The Girl In Blue" and was famous as a risque performer noted for throwing her garter to the audience. There is a gorgeous color button billing her as "Queen Of All Dancers." Hake book Collectible Pin-back Buttons photo example Stage, Theater, Vaudeville, Magicians & Occult Section #1022. Still displays attractively. Rare.
