Item Description
1.75” rare button pictures him on horseback and is a likely souvenir from his rodeo appearances. In 1912 he actually won the Pendleton Round-Up All Around Championship. Metal reverse has heavier than usual degree of tan oxidation plus the numeral “50” inked although neither really causes any problem to the celluloid which remains with mirror gloss and displays Mint. We’ve seen only 1 or 2 of these in over 4 decades. Comes with Hake’s COA.
