Item Description
As with most examples of this 1" celluloid, the cream bkg. has areas of darkening. However, after exposure to light this one glows with a deep intensity, superior to most, and clearly shows at its center the black silhouetted Shadow in hat and cape with his gun leveled. The button was issued in 1939 and came with a member card titled "The Secret Pledge Of The Shadow." The card pledge was to "Stamp Out The Forces Of Evil In This Land. I Shall Recognize Other Members Of The SHADOW SOCIETY By This Card And By The Magic Button Which Only Members May Possess." Although not marked as such, we believe this is a blue coal premium. We've seen around a half dozen of these over the years. Displays with marks on the background but glows superbly.
