Item Description
In the early 60s, Peanuts characters helped sell Ford Falcon cars. Apparently, that's the inspiration for the slogan on this button "Fords Go For Peanuts." Tiny text below Charlie Brown and Lucy reads "Peanuts Characters ©1950 United Feature Syndicate, Inc." Reverse has pair of 1/16" hairline splits along the covered metal back. One of these is just a trifle visible on the bottom front edge when viewed from the front. Button also has a pair of slightly raised vertical streaks that can be felt or show in reflected light but the entire button remains totally bright and clean. Union bug stamp on the covered metal reverse. First we've offered.
