Item Description
The referenced pin is in row one and is made of sterling 1.5" tall. The other 32 items are all buttons ranging in size from 1" to 1.5". Row by row we'll mention some highlights and a few with some condition issues. Row one starts with rare isolationist button. This shows age in photo but that cleaned off. Second is scarce button showing Yugoslavian patriot. Fourth is rare button for "Caterpillar" but some scuffs. Last in row one is scarce "Win On Work" button by Caterpillar but this has some craze marks. In row two the "Rats" classic buttons display well but first has pinpoint brown spot on top edge and second has several craze lines. The following blue and white buttons are from a series and the one with the eagle has small cello split making small bump on bottom edge. The other is Exc. as is the button picturing General Patton. In row three the first three items are from litho tin slogan series. The fourth is a rare slogan button in dark blue and white. In row four items are all Exc. except some air under the fourth item. In row five "Waukesha Motor Minute Man" has tiny age dot on left but showing little. The third in this row has a little brown stain on the right and the fourth has a small .25" scratch. Row six starts with rare "Dentistry To Victory!" button. This is followed by one issued by "Sun Sweet" prune juice. Third in the row has fade and stain while other two are Exc. Row seven includes classic patriotic "It's Great To Be An American" and rare "United Nations." While a few in the group of 32 buttons have some condition issues, opening bid more than accounts for those and is conservative.
