Item Description
These 14 beautifully colored celluloid buttons are 1.25" each issued to promote Philadelphia newspaper comic strips. Most of these have the typical backpaper reading "World's Most Famous Comics/Evening Ledger Every Day." In this group the Mickey Mouse and Snuffy Smith buttons have the second variety backpaper reading "Listen To Brother Bill/Every Day 6 P.M. WIP" (call letters for a Philadelphia radio station). The buttons in this set without papers are row 1, #1; row 2, #2 and row 3, #2. The Mickey and Minnie buttons in this set have sales records that usually exceed $500 each and many other characters are in the $200 range. A superior set with all NM to Mint and all displaying Mint. The most beautiful comic character set ever produced. One of only three sets we've offered and the last exceeded $2,000.
