Item Description
Reverse has union bug as does the following matching button for Barkley. Next to the bug on the Truman is a little ripple on the metal and on the front of the button there is a very tiny raised bump just above his shoulder on the right side. This just catches a little reflected light. On the far left edge around 8:30 o'clock there is a pinpoint of tan stain on the side edge and nearly undetectable when the piece is viewed from the front. At the same spot on the reverse along the collet is an additional 1/32" tan dot. This rare button is Hake #2026 with Revised Prices 2004 value of $750. There is one auction record from 2010 when it realized $959. Still Extremely Fine and for practical purposes displaying Mint.
