Item Description
This 1.25” showing man in whiteface makeup is an extremely early button with covered tin back and vertical pin c. the 1896-1904 era. In addition, this was a button for a club “Member” and it is an extremely early use of that concept on a button. Cello surface does have a light vertical scratch up the center with 2 even fainter hairlines going off to the right but these 3 marks are just a little apparent in reflected light. Button still displays Exc. and is totally clean. Early and rare.
