Item Description
This 1.25" excellent color button with a crimped on brass rim as made is the earliest version we've seen of this design. Light stain on the backpaper which has name of maker "Keystone Badge Reading, Pa" while above is text "Order From W.W. Wiest" with an address in Harrisburg, PA. The celluloid has a very small light age dot on rim edge at right and the brass rim has slight luster loss but still VF and with great scene of spread-wing eagle attacking a constrictor-type snake wrapped around the body of a naked man. Rare.
