Item Description
Each of these is 2.25" with covered tin back and vertical bar pin. Reverse each names maker St. Louis button company. First shows racy woman kicking up her leg in front of a hayseed farmer. Rim text reads "Souvenir Barton Co. Fair Great Bend, Kan., Sept. 18-19-20-21-1901." Purple color on outer rim has faded but otherwise essentially Mint as made. Second and obviously in the same style shows a pair of women in fancy outfits arm in arm with a gent at a center. This one has scattered light age marks but still retains full gloss. Rim reads "Paducah Carnival May 11 To 16-1903." Both are exceptionally large and issued for very short time periods.
