Item Description
3.5" 1930s button shows future radio host of The Buster Brown Gang but here promoting a hat with text "Have A Hat On Me!" Designed to be worn by a store clerk although with no brand name. Background to left of his head has .5" hairline cut plus a small V-shaped scratch in the crook of his arm holding the hat although this blends well. Tiniest bit of age tone on the word "Have." In spite of the small damage quite a great looking button for famed radio announcer and kid's early television host most famous for the phrase "Plunk Your Magic Twanger, Froggy!" First we've seen.
