Billy Sunday was a National League baseball player in the 1880s and went on to become the most famous and influential evangelist in America in the first two decades of the 20th century. He strongly supported the Prohibition and the Women's Suffrage movements. His revival meetings on the 'Kerosene Circuit' made major headlines across America. Chicago, however, as the song lyrics goes, was "The Town That Billy Sunday Couldn't Shut Down." This is an amazing lifetime collection and with 17 buttons and one ribbon the largest known to us. About half of the buttons we've never seen before. The buttons range from .75" to 1.25". Briefly, top to bottom and left to right, collection includes: "Billy Sunday Men's League"/Billy Sunday real photo button with ribbon "I Am For Billy Sunday"/"Get Right With God/Billy Sunday." This is missing the vertical pin from the covered tin reverse but the cello remains Exc. and in our opinion this is one of the outstanding buttons in the group./"Billy Sunday" with 1908 copyright under a real photo./"Billy Sunday Campaign Trenton N.J. 1916" (three tiny dirt specks under the cello.)/"Billy Sunday Night" rarity showing Knights of Pythias lodge symbol and date of 1916. Another major rarity./"W.A. Sunday" real photo but with hairline crack along his hand./Sunday real photo set in an ornate enamel and brass frame./Jugate showing "Ma" Sunday and Rev. Billy Sunday. The only design we know of to picture his wife and quite rare./"Billey Sunday Souvenir" real photo and rare. Reverse collet at upper edge has traces of a ribbon. Small bit of brown aging which was in the development process of the photographic paper. This has Keystone back paper. Another major rarity in the collection./Billy Sunday brown tone illustration portrait. Another rarity. Small change in the color tone on right edge with just a trivial tiny split on reverse./"Rev. Wm A. Sunday" real photo although with six cello cracks and trace of stain./"Billy Sunday Campaign" another real photo./"W.A. Sunday" another real photo and similar to two others in the group but this is in sepia./"Go And Hear Bill" real photo with Keystone back paper. Another of the major rarities in the collection. The ribbon is 4" tall with a reverse stickpin and reads "Billy Sunday Meeting/Maryland College/March 14/1916."/"W.A. Sunday" same photo as two others in group but in a very rare .75" size/sepia real photo which has light stain over 50% of the surface but a rare seldom seen portrait. Morry Greener Collection.
