Item Description
This very graphic 1.25" portrays the Lone Ranger on Silver rearing up against a background of clouds, mountains and trees. Surrounding text is "The 'Lone Ranger' Comic/Daily And Sunday/Examiner." In the Hake Pop Culture guide we estimated this as c. 1939 but the accurate date would be 1938 as it was used as a promotional button for the expansion of the strip from just a daily to include a full color Sunday page appearing in the Chicago Herald and Examiner. We've had this button only twice and Hake Guide value in NM is $850.00. This example is NM and displays Mint. Historic and rare.
