Item Description
Each is 1.25" and the first two have backpaper by Baltimore Badge although first one is rather worn. This is a real photo sepia button showing "'Bostock' The Animal King." Light stain on his face and top edge has 1/8" cello chip missing. Next shows his famous cigar smoking chimpanzee dressed as a human and seated in a chair with the text "Consul At Bostock's" About ten light tan age dots 1/16" or less show mostly around the outer edge. Last and one we've never seen before pictures the Buffalo exposition 1901 Temple of Music. Surrounding text reads "Where Our President Fell/Compliments Of Bostock The Animal King." This has a Keystone Badge backpaper along with name of a Buffalo man described as "Agent" apparently a jobber for the button company. Two pinpoint brown specks are removed and button displays Mint.
