Item Description
1.25" with W&H paper used only 1900-1912.  Celluloid has large noticeable tan spots but still with full gloss and with great scene of a pair of locomotives speeding towards each other about to collide.  Text at top reads "Head End Collision/Fair Grounds."  Text below reads "They Will Hit Hard/Labor Day, Sept. 7,/By Division 156/Locomotive Engineers."  This was actually a rather popular spectator spectacle sport at the turn of the century.  Only the second example we've seen of this rare button.
