Item Description
1.25” with a bit heavier than usual oxidation on metal back although cello remains totally clean. Pictured is exhibit building with text “Honolulu 1915/100,000, Club.” The Territory of Hawaii viewed the 1915 Exposition as a great opportunity to promote its products, people and tourism. Therefore the legislature appropriated $100,000 to build an exhibit pavilion. This button was given to those people making a contribution. Center left of front has 3/16” circular raised bump but all remains totally clean and the piece displays Mint. Rare.
