Item Description
Sizes range from 7/8" to 2.75" and numerous of these items would sell for $200-300 if undamaged. This is truly a remarkable collection of mostly early 1900s items. Unfortunately group was stored where they somehow were subject to extreme heat and most celluloid pieces have cracks/crazing of the cello covering varying from all over the surface to just a few long hairlines. Still, many pieces certainly retain plenty of appealing color & graphics and display well in spite of the damage. The five items in bottom row #7 are not damaged except last item ("Wis. Motor/Help Win The War") has long cello split on reverse around the collet. First, here are the non-buttons: Row 1 #1 is a mirror for Case Threshing Machine Co. Row 1 #3 is an Winchester Oil Stone. Row 3 #4 seems to be the side of a tape measure with an added center hole. Row 5 #6 is a plastic encased 1946-D penny and the case has split. Row 6 #1 is a rare celluloid spinner for "R. Howell" engines missing its original wire frame. The remaining 45 items are buttons and include company names going top to bottom and left to right: Confederate Reunion 1904 (smaller splits and one very large one), Gilson Engine, Dempster Windmill, Case (2), Port Huron, Huber, Hart-Parr, Badger (2), Challenge Windmill, Simplicity engine, GetAssociated engine, Huber (1906 picnic cracks but still not that bad), Great Minneapolis Line, Oil Pull, Fuller & Johnson, Bement Sulky Plow, Deering Harvester, Sharples Separator, Keystone Grease, Mica Axel Grease, Golden Harvest Phosphate Fertilizer, Russell & Co, American Threshermen, Root & Van Dervoort (see following item #611), Frost King, White Gasoline Engine, Ford Tractor, Cushman Binder Engine, Nichols & Shepard Threshing Machine, The Olds engine, Bulldog Cylinder, Hummer Plow, Heller-Aller Windmill, New Burch Plow, Case Plow, Henry & Allen, P&O Canton Plows. The following five items do not have cracks/craze and consist of: Ford Tractor, Ohio University Farmers Week, Threshermen's Review Publication, Oliver Chilled Plow, Wis. Motor (split on reverse).
