1.25" without maker name but quite possibly by the same maker of the two previous rare comic book club buttons from the early 1940s. They each have a brass luster collet on the back whereas the collet on this one a dark cream color but we have the feeling they came from the same button manufacturer. This character was named Jerry Steele and his principal gimmick was a miniature radio in his ring. He was aided by three teen aged sidekicks called The V-Boys, who each wore a sweater with a large V on the front. V-Man debuted in the first issue of Fox Feature Syndicate's V Comics in January, 1942. In the comic book there was a promotional page to form a V-Man club among the readers, who were called the V-Boys and V-Girls. However, the comic lasted only two issues, January and March 1942. This accounts for the great rarity of this club button. This example of the button has numerous but essentially microscopic pinpoint raised dots on the celluloid surface in some areas but these just show a trifle in reflected light or give certain areas of the button just the tiniest bit of roughness to the touch. As these tiny dots are totally transparent for the most part they do not show whatsoever unless viewed in a severe light angle or with magnification. The button has near perfect centering, fully intense coloring, and outstanding high gloss. As we have never offered this button before we don't know the level of collector interest so it starts with a very modest opening bid but on a rarity scale it is certainly the equal to, if not rarer than the preceding rare U.S. Jones Cadets button.
