Item Description
The basic set of buttons are 15 different designs in the 7/8" size. In the newspaper advertisements for this set, in both the USA and Canada, reference is made to an "Extra Large" button and all 3 of those are included. There are a matching pair of 1-1/8" lithos picturing Roy and Dale with titles "King of the Cowboys" and "Queen of the West." There is also the same photo button of Roy but in a larger 1-5/8" size, but a matching Dale in this size was not produced. Among the basic 7/8" size, one button picturing "Pat Brady" comes sealed in its transparent glassine packaging. Couple of pinpoints of wear on the "Nellybelle" extreme rim edge but hardly noticeable and overall this is a high grade set N. Mint to Mint.
