Item Description
Each is 7/8”. The button without illustration has stained but easily readable W&H backpaper. Front of the button has scattered all over age spotting but text again remains easily readable as “Compliments Of Gilmore And Leonard/Hogans Alley.” Rare but just good. Still has full gloss. Second item showing The Kid has rim text “Compliments Of Gilmore & Leonard.” His nightshirt reads “I Say Wate For Me/I’m Wid Gilmore & Leonard In Hogans Alley See.” This button has a black metal-covered back. It is known without text on the back as well as this version which reads “Lewis Minks, Jr. Baltimore, Md.” Our last example of this button realized over $200. Exc. and displays Mint. See following ribbon with Minks label picturing the Yellow Kid. Pair.
