Item Description
15/16" beautifully shaded rwb picturing Tracy wearing his brown hat. His name is in bold red letters while "Junior" is in white. Curl has name of maker Parisian Novelty Co. Under magnification, very light all-over surface scratches but these are essentially invisible to the naked eye and the piece displays Mint as issued. Almost certainly the first Tracy button ever. We've seen less than 10 examples over the years. Scarce.
