Item Description
1.25" with backpaper by W&H used only 1901-1912. This is a real photo button without dot pattern and in the development of the photographic paper a 1/16" circular tan dot formed over her right eye. All else about the button is Exc. with only the most trivial wear in reflected light. There is a version of this which reads just "Dead Shot" at the top but this is the variety reading at the top "Dead Shot Powder." On the lower rim is her name along with the words "Pattern-Penetration-Velocity." Only the second example we've seen in 45 years.
