Item Description
Wonderful graphic portrait of youngster exposing his missing teeth with a smile between exaggerated ears. Portrait strongly suggests MAD Magazine’s Alfred E. Neuman of later generations. One of the five examples we’ve handled over five decades. None of the examples has had a backpaper and there is no maker’s name indicated on the curl. Celluloid has a couple of 1/8” exceedingly trivial surface marks which just show a trifle in reflected light. This is equal in condition to any of our other examples. The centering is essentially perfect and the color is bright with no fading and high gloss. Our last example in Auction #199 exceeded $1,500 with the buyer’s premium. A NM example of one of the most desirable product buttons ever made and displaying Mint. See next item.
