7/8" with backpaper by N.Y.C. maker Pudlin. Front has black text on deep red "I Am A Subscriber To The Liberator/Are You?" Speck of white trapped under the celluloid over the letter "T" but otherwise Mint as made. This was arguably the greatest radical magazine ever produced. It began in the spring of 1918 as a successor to the left wing magazine The Masses, which had been closed down by postal censorship and legal prosecutions during World War I. Editor Max Eastman and his sister Crystal desired to continue The Masses under a different guise. The name change did not change the political orientation. The publication supported many aspects of the socialist movement including the Industrial Workers of the World. The publication's news coverage was excellent and included the famous correspondent and Communist Labor Party founder John Reed who reported on events in Soviet Russia. Because this button has a Pudlin backpaper and because our earliest date for that company is 1924 we believe this button was issued that year which would have been just prior to The Liberator merging in 1924 with several publications going forward under the name The Workers Monthly. Still another name change came in 1927 with a new title The Communist and even today the publication continues known since 1946 as Political Affairs. Rare.
