Item Description
7/8" beautifully colored button depicts a gold coal bucket filled with black coal lumps. Text on the bucket's side "My Only Scuttle Policy."

See the print picturing TR and labor leader John Mitchell, item #24. Bottom curl of button has tiny word "Copyrighted" and reverse has W&H paper. N. Mint, displays Mint.
