Item Description
3.5" dia. pin back with bluetone photo image of Bette Davis and attached 6.75" and 8.5" ribbons. Shorter red ribbon has yellow text reading "Bette Davis-Birthday Party-Apr. 5th 1941-Littleton N.H." Davis spent much of her free time in New Hampshire. Second, longer blue ribbon has white text reading "Official." Elaborate ribbon badge for Davis' 33rd birthday. Birthday celebration coincided with premiere of her movie "The Great Lie" in Middleton, NH. Ribbons show light age. Button is NM displaying Mint. In Auction #194 we had a version with ribbon and text colors reversed and the word "Guest" instead of "Official." That realized over $500.00. This "Official" version must have been issued in even smaller quantity. Also see rare RKO/Uncle Sam WWII large button #877. Rare one-day event button.
